Scarlet Fever
Recorded by Kenny Rogers
Written by Mike Dekle

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


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


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


Then one night while driving in my eyes begun to tear
          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
