I Dstood outside the Lucky Star staring at the flashing sign
It read, GCome on in and watch young Scarlet’s Dbody come alive
Let her Gdance for you and Acast her spell, you’ll Dswear you can’t beGlieve her
Be Gcareful not to catch the scarlet Afever
So I Dpaid my fare and walked down front and found an empty chair
As I Gsettled in young scarlet took the Dribbons from her hair
The moves her Gbody made while the Amusic played were the Dlikes I’ve never Gseen
And Gshe became the Aenvy of my Ddreams
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:
Now I get scarlet GfevAer every time I Dsee herG  
GBut she’s a night club tEmeaser
ANot paid to notice Dme
Yes, I get scarlet GfeverA  
If she knew how much I Dneed her
GShe´d place her hand in Emmy hand
And Adance away with Dme
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
