[00:09.02]I stood outside the Lucky Star
[00:11.08]Staring at the flashing sign
[00:14.06]It read: come on in and watch young
[00:17.02]Scarlet's body come alive
[00:20.02]Let her dance for you and catch your spell
[00:23.03]You'll swear you can believe her
[00:27.08]Be careful not to catch the scarlet fever
[00:32.04]
[00:33.03]So I paid my fare and walked down front
[00:36.05]And found an empty chair
[00:39.00]As I settled in young scarlet took the ribbons from her hair
[00:44.05]The moves her body made while the music played
[00:47.09]Were the likes I've never seen
[00:52.07]And she became the envy of my dreams
[00:56.05]
[00:58.00]One by one her teasing movements
[01:00.05]Brought the crowd out of their seats
[01:03.08]And all at once young scarlet
[01:06.02]Danced straight up in front of me
[01:09.02]From the moment that her eyes found mine
[01:12.05]I've never been the same
[01:16.05]Scarlet locked another heart upon her chain
[01:21.00]
[01:22.07]Now I get scarlet fever every time I see her
[01:34.01]But she's a night club teaser
[01:40.00]Not paid to notice me
[01:45.08]Yes, I get scarlet fever
[01:51.02]If she knew how much I need her
[01:57.02]She'd place her hand in my hand
[02:03.06]And dance away with me
[02:08.08]
[02:10.05]She looked 25 but I was told
[02:13.03]That she was just 16
[02:16.05]She had a way of making a man believe
[02:19.03]She danced for only him
[02:21.08]As she tantalized I fantasized
[02:25.01]And felt the sound of my heart beat
[02:29.02]And every night I'd dream
[02:30.09]She'd fall in love with me
[02:33.05]
[02:34.07]Then one night while driving in
[02:37.05]My eyes begun to tear
[02:40.07]'Cos the sign outside the Lucky Star said: scarlet isn't here
[02:46.07]she'd left that day to find a life
[02:49.07]Of bigger and better things
[02:53.07]And she left behind my chain of broken dreams
[02:58.00]
[02:59.07]But still get scarlet fever
[03:05.03]In my mind I still see her
[03:11.07]Out there dancing somewhere
[03:16.09]To another fool like me
[03:21.01]
[03:22.07]Yes, I get scarlet fever
[03:28.07]If she knew how much I need her
[03:34.05]She'd place her hand in my hand
[03:40.04]And dance away with me
[03:49.02]
