C
I stood outside the Lucky Star staring at the flashing sign
F
C
It read come on in and watch young Scarlet’s body come alive
F
G7
Let her dance for you and cast her spell
C
F
You’ll swear you can believe her
G7
Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever
C
So I paid my fare and walked down front and found an empty chair
F
C
As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair
F
G7
The moves her body made while the music played
C
F
Were the likes I’ve never seen
G7
C
And she became the envy of my dreams
F
C
And all at once young scarlet danced right up in front of me
F
G7
From the moment that her eyes found mine
C
F
I’ve never been the same
G7
C
Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain
F
G7
C
Now I get scarlet fe-v-er every time I see her
F
Dm
But she’s a night club teaser
G7
C
F
G7
Not paid to notice me yes I get scarlet fe-v-er
C
If she knew how much I need her
F
Dm
G7
C
She’d place her hand in my hand and dance away with me
F
C
She had a way of making a man believe she danced for only him
F
G7
As she tantalized I fantasized
C
F
And felt the sound of my heart beat
G7
C
And every night I’d dream she’d fall in love with me
F
C
Cause the sign outside the Lucky Star said Scarlet isn’t here
F
G7
She’d left that day to find a life
C
F
Of bigger and better things
G7
C
And she left behind my chain of broken dreams
F
G7
But still get scarlet fe-v-er
C
In my mind I still see her
F
Out there dancing somewhere
G7
C
To another fool like me
F
G7
Yes I get scarlet fe-v-er
C
If she knew how much I need her
F
G7
C
She’d place her hand in my hand and dance away with me
F
C
Dm
G7
