Alba s touto skladbou:
Through the Years: A Retrospective,
I stood outside the Lucky Star
Staring at the flashing sign
It read: come on in
and watch young
Scarlet's body come alive
Let her dance for you
and catch your spell
You'll swear you can
believe her
Be careful not to catch
the scarlet fever.
So I paid my fare
and walked down front
And found an empty chair
As I settled in young scarlet took
the ribbons from her hair
The moves her body made while
the music played
Were the likes I've never seen
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.
Now I get scarlet fever
every time I see her
But she's a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
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
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.
But still get scarlet fever
In my mind I still see her
Out there dancing somewhere
To another fool like me.
Yes, I get scarlet fever every
time I see her
But she's a night club teaser
Not paid to notice me
Yes, I get scarlet fever
If she knew how much I need her
She'd place her hand in my hand
And dance away with me...
