C            A              F         G 
Walkin' down new street the music is loud 
C    A              F          G 
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds 
    F           G            " walkdown "  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' cross 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 
 
She and old Cougie, my what a pair 
Just doin' the Rhumba as no one else dared 
Slidin' and glidin' on hardwood waxed floors 
But they don't dance like Carmen no more 
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)
