Chorus:
C7   F                                     C7
Oh, Carol, don't let 'em steal your heart away.
     G                          F                     C
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me ll night and day.

      C
Climb into my machine so we can cruise on out,
I know a swingin' little joint where we can jump and shout.
          F                                           F7
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride.
     C                                          C7
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside.
          G                                              G7
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am.
             C                                     C7
Cause every time you make the scene, the joint is jammed.

Chorus:
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm going to learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

And if you want to hear some music like the boys are playing
Hold tight, pat your foot, don't let them carry it away
Don't let the heat overcome you when they play so loud
Oh, don't the music intrigue you when they get a crowd
You can't dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby, because you dance so good

Chorus:
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm going to learn to dance if it takes me all night and day

Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance if it takes you all night and day
Oh Carol
