JIMMY BUFFETT - They Don't Dance Like Carmen No More lyrics

rate me

By: Jimmy Buffett

1973

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

-- Spoken:

"Take it Marvin"

"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"

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

"Shk chk, shk chk, shk chk"

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

Coda:

Ten cents dance, I might take a chance

But they don't dance like Carmen no more
