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       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' past Hollywood floors
         F                G         C          C A F G
But they don't dance like Carmen no more

Verse:
C         A        F         G
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
And how she could balance it, I wouldn't dare
            F               G         C          C A F G
Cause 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          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' past hardwood waxed floors
         F                G         C
But they don't dance like Carmen no more

Outro:
         A
No more, no more
    F           G            C            A
And I'm just an old man, I'd probably get sore
         F                G         C
No they don't dance like Carmen no more
C                 A
10 cents a dance, might take a chance
         F                G         C
