The Perfect Partner 

By: Marshall Chapman 

1982 

"When I sang Marshall's song, I thought of summer nights at 

the beach long ago doing the shag to THE DRIFTERS records 

and wanting desperately to fall in love. I still like to shag to 

THE DRIFTERS." 

Look over here there's a girl 

I've never seen her before 

Her eyes are lookin' straight at you 

Across the crowded dance floor 

Ooh ooh she's smilin' 

What a beautiful sight 

Oh I got a funny feelin' 

She's gonna dance with you tonight 



Chorus: 

She could be the perfect partner 

She can take it in her stride 

She won't try to lead or follow 

Perfect partner by your side 



Ooh you got to take a chance 

You got to let somebody move you 

It can happen at a dance 

If there's a rhythm you can groove to 

Ooh here she comes ya'll 

She's comin' straight to me 

She's gonna ask me if I want to dance 

I'll just have to wait and see 



Chorus: 

She could be the perfect partner 

She can take it in her stride 

She won't have to lead or follow 

Perfect partner by my side 



The worse thing that can happen is 

She steps on your toes 

But 'til you take that first step with her 

How will you know, know, know 



Chorus: 

That she could be the perfect partner 

She can take it in her stride 

She won't have to lead or follow 

Perfect partner by my side 



Chorus: 

She could be the perfect partner (she could be the perfect partner) 

She can take it in her stride (she can take it in her stride) 

She won't have to lead or follow (she won't have to lead or follow) 

Perfect partner by my side 



Ooh ooh ooh ooh
