Oh Carol (KDM 147) Glenn Wilson (Smokie) 1978

OPENER

Circle Left

Well, I was out cruisin', gettin' late
And I was losin', when I saw you walkin' my way

The Men Star Right, one time around tonight

Left Allemande and baby, Weave that Ring
Well your hips were swinging
And your jeans were clinging
Swing and Promenade her back home
On a hot afternoon, when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find

FIGURE

Heads Promenade and go Halfway around

The same 2, a R & L Thru

Flutter Wheel the floor, Sweep 1/4 more

Pass Thru, Slide Thru and then

Square Thru go 3

Swing and Promenade for sure

Oh baby, you've opened the door
Oh Carol, you can do it some more

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Sides Face Grand Square

Oh Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floating on the Milky Way (Circle Left)
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
Left Allemande and Promenade the floor
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more

TAG

Swing her there, Oh Carol, baby you can do it some more

ORIGINAL LYRICS

Well, I was out cruisin', gettin' late
And I was losin' when I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losing' today

Well your hips were swinging
And your jeans were clinging
You were driving me out of my mind
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find

So I pulled on over, you tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and looked my way
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd said what I wanted to say
So, being polite, said "What you doin' tonight?"
You said "Just so happens I'm free."
You got all the right curves and all the right words
And that's alright by me.

Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floating on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more

Well, if you're ready for this
When we started to kiss
She said "Hold on a minute or two."
Well, nat'rally I knew it couldn't be me
I said "Oh, baby, what's troublin' you?"
She said "I'm not sixteen, if you know what I mean."
So we sat and talked for a while
And when we finally kissed, you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it with style

Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floating on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more

All right!

Instrumental Break

Well, I was out cruisin', gettin' late
And I was losin' when I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losing' today

Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floating on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more

Oh, Carol, you got me eatin' my heart away
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh, I'm floating on the Milky Way
Oh, Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh, baby, you've opened the door
Oh, Carol, you can do it some more

Oh, Carol, baby, you can do it some more
Oh, Carol, baby, you can do it some more
