Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day 
 
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 
 
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna learn to dance if it takes me all night and day 
 
And if you wanna hear some music like the boys are playin' 
Hold tight, pat your foot, don't let 'em 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 
 
Oh Carol, don't let him steal your heart away 
I'm gonna 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 
 
 
Enjoy!
