Carmen' Boogie Songtext
{ Carmen's Boogie }

Hate the opera, it's to high brow
But there's one number I can dig right now
Just like shifting without a clutch
Arrived the boogie with the Carmen touch

You ain't livin' if you have missed
The long-haired music with a crew-cut twist
Don't love often and don't love much
But love that boogie with a Carmen touch

It rips up floors, it knocks down walls
And it's the reason that Niagara falls
It even made Gibraltar rock
It ain't a thing among there bird can mock

The day it hit in old Bombay
The Hindu couldn't charm the snake away
They say in French in Greek and Dutch
The boogie wasn't boogie 'till it got the Carmen touch!

Knew a fella, a cap'n(?) named Red
He played fine piano but they shot him dead
Red deserved it -- the such and such
He bluffed(?) on boogie with the Carmen touch

What brings saucers around from Mars
And what do Mason(s?) lid(?) their Mason jars
What make baby's cry out so much
They want their boogie with the Carmen touch

I can('t?) reveal the way I feel
I love so much the Carmen touch!

I love the boogie
I love the boogie
I love the boogie
I love the boogie
I love the boogie
I love the boogie
The boogie with a Carmen touch

I can('t?) reveal the way I feel
I love so much the Carmen touch!

Don't love often and don't love much
Love that boogie with a Carmen touch

Love that boogie
With a Carmen tooooouch!
