Walkin' down new streets the music is loud
|
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 old Cougie, my what a pair
|
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 them, 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]
