Chorus:)
A D A A7 D A
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away,
E D A E
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day.
 
A
Come into my machine so we can cruise on out,
A
I know a swinging little joint where we can jump and shout.
D
It's not too far back on the highway, not too long a ride,
A
you park your car in the open, you can walk inside.
E
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her ma'am,
A
'cause every time you make the scene, the joint is jammed.
 
(Chorus)
 
(Instrumental)
 
(Chorus)
 
A
Well if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin',
A
hold tight, tap your foot, don't let it carry you away.
D
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud,
A
why, the music will treat you when they get a crowd,
E
Well, you can dance, I know you would, you could,
A
I got my eyes on you baby 'cause you dance so good.
 
(Chorus)
