Lyrics:

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]
