D

I stood outside the Lucky Star staring at the flashing sign

G D

It read, Come on in and watch young Scarlet’s body come alive

G A D G

Let her dance for you and cast her spell, you’ll swear you can’t believe her

G A

Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever

D

So I paid my fare and walked down front and found an empty chair

G D

As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair

G A D G

The moves her body made while the music played were the likes I’ve never seen

G A D

And she became the envy of my dreams

One by one her teasing movements brought the crowd out of their seats

And all at once young scarlet danced straight up in front of me

From the moment that her eyes found mine, I’ve never been the same

Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain.

Chorus:

G A D G

Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her

G Em

But she’s a night club teaser

A D

Not paid to notice me

G A

Yes, I get scarlet fever

D

If she knew how much I need her

G Em

She´d place her hand in my hand

A D

And dance away with me

She looked 25 but I was told that she was just 16

She had a way of making a man believe she danced for only him

As she tantalized I fantasized and felt the sound of my heart beat

And every night I’d dream she’d fall in love with me

Then one night while driving in my eyes begun to tear

Cause the sign outside the Lucky Star said, Scarlet isn’t here

She’d left that day to find a life of bigger and better things

And she left behind my chain of broken dreams

Chorus 2:

But I still get scarlet fever

In my mind I still see her

Out there dancing somewhere

To another fool like me
