Walkin' down new streets, 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 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 'Take it Marvin' 'Shuk chuk, shuk chuk, shuk chuk' 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 'Shuk chuk, shuk chuk, shuk chuk' 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 Ten cents dance, I might take a chance But they don't dance like Carmen no more
