1973
3
Walkin' down new streets, music is loud
4
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
5
But I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
6
'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
7
She and ol' Cougie, my what a pair
8
Jus' doin' the Rhumba as no one else dared
9
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross Hollywood floors
10
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
11
-- Spoken:
12
"Take it Marvin"
13
"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"
14
Well now she had a big hat, my it was high
15
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
16
How she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
17
But they don't dance like Carmen nowhere
18
"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"
19
Ah but the lady's not with us, she died long ago
20
And they don't show her movies on late midnight shows
21
'Cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
22
'Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
23
Well now she and old Cougie, my what a pair
24
Just doin' the Boogie as no one else dared
25
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross hardwood waxed floors
26
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
27
No more
28
No no no more
29
And I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
30
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
31
Nah they don't dance like Carmen no more
32
Coda:
33
Ten cents dance, I might take a chance
34
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
