[Intro]
C A F G
C A F G
 
[Verse]
C            A               F        G
Walkin' down new streets the music is loud
C    A                F        G
Neon signs bring in tumultuous crowds
    F           G            C            A
But I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
           F                G         C    A F G
Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
 
[Verse]
C           A       F         G
She and old Cougie, my what a pair
     C         A         F           G
Just doin' the Rhumba as no one else dared
F           G              C         A
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross Hollywood floors
         F                G         C    A F G
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
 
[Verse]
         C         A        F         G
Well now she had a big hat, my it was high
      C         A          F            G
Had bananas and mangos all piled to the sky
F             G           C          A
How she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
         F                G        C    A F G
But they don't dance like Carmen nowhere
 
[Verse]
         C         A            F          G
But the lady's not with us, she died long ago
         C             A             F         G
And they don't run her movies on late midnight shows
          F              G                 C               A
Cause the kids would get restless, and the grown-ups would snore
           F                G         C    A F G
Cause they don't dance like Carmen no more
 
[Verse]
         C           A       F         G
Well now she and old Cougie, my what a pair
     C         A         F           G
Just doin' the Boogie as no one else dared
F           G              C              A
Slidin' and glidin' 'cross hardwood waxed floors
         F                G
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
 
[Outro]
C        A   F       G
  No more, no-no-no more
    F           G            C            A
And I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
         F                G         C   A
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
         F                G         C  A
No they don't dance like Carmen no more
F                 G   C            A
  10 cents a dance, I might take a chance
         F                G         C    A F G
But they don't dance like Carmen no more
