Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
[Verse 2]
Climb into my machine, so we can cruise on out
I know a swingin' little joint, where we can jump and shout
It's not too far back off the highway, not so long a ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside
A little cutie takes your hat and you can thank her, ma'am
Every time you make the scene, you find the joint is jammed
[Verse 3]
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
[Verse 4]
Now if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin'
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, 'cause you dance so good
[Verse 5]
Oh, Carol, don't let him steal your heart away
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day
[Verse 6]
Don't let him steal your heart away
I've got to learn to dance if it takes you all night and day
