They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More |
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds |
But I’m just an old man, I’d probably get sore |
'Cause they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
She and ol' Cougie, my what a pair |
Jus' doin' the Rhumba as no one else dared |
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross Hollywood floors |
But they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
-- Spoken: |
«Take it Marvin» |
«Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk» |
Well now she had a big hat, my it was high |
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky |
How she could balance it, I wouldn’t dare |
But they don’t dance like Carmen nowhere |
«Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk» |
Ah but the lady’s not with us, she died long ago |
And they don’t show 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 |
Well now she and old Cougie, my what a pair |
Just doin' the Boogie as no one else dared |
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross hardwood waxed floors |
But they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
No more |
No no no more |
And I’m just an old man, I’d probably get sore |
But they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
Nah they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
Coda: |
Ten cents dance, I might take a chance |
But they don’t dance like Carmen no more |
