Chorus:
   E7
Oh Carol
                                 B
don't let him steal your heart away
    F#7
I'm gonna learn to dance if it
                        B
takes me all night and day

           B
Well, come in to my machine,
so we can cruse on out
I know a swingin' little joint
where we can jump and shout
             E7
It's not too far back off
the highway not so long a ride
               B
You park your car out in the open,
you can walk inside
          F#
A little cutie takes your hat
and you can thank her ma'am
            B
'cos ev'ry time you make the scene
you find the joint is jammed

Chorus - x2

Well, you want to hear some music
like the boys are playing
Hold tight, catch your foot,
don't let him 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
If you can dance, I know you wish you could
I got my eyes on you baby 'cos you dance so good

Chorus - x2
