Scarlet Fever

  D
I stood outside the Lucky Star 
staring at the flashing sign
         G                         
It read, Come on in and watch young
           D
 Scarlet’s body come alive
        G                 A       
Let her dance for you and cast her
               D              
 spell, you’ll swear you can’t 
   G
believe her
   G                               
Be careful not to catch the scarlet
 A
 fever

     D
So I paid my fare and walked down 
front and found an empty chair
     G                             
As I settled in young scarlet took 
    D
the ribbons from her hair
              G                   
The moves her body made while the 
A                     D          
music played were the likes I’ve 
      G
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            
Now I get scarlet fever every time
   D          G
 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
