C            A              F         G
Walkin' down new streets the music is loud
C    A              F          G
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
    F          G            "Run"         A
But I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
           F                G         C       C  A  F  G
Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more


She and old Cougie, my what a pair
Just doin' the Rhumba as no one else dared
Slidin' and glidin' past Hollywood floors
But they don't dance like Carmen no more

She had a big hat, my it was high
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
And how she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
Cause they don't dance like Carmen nowhere

But the lady's not with us, she died long ago
And they don't run her movies on late midnight shows
Cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more

(Repeat second verse w/ "hardwood waxed floors")
No more, no more
And I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
10 cents a dance, might take a chance  (fade)

Enjoy!
