[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C
When Salome plays the drum
C
Crowd goes deaf and dumb
                 Bb
Swept up by dark sensations

C
Partially the heat
C
More so it\'s the beat
             Bb
She moves in syncopation
C
Gazelle on the run

[Verse 2]
C
Skirt slit past her thigh
C
Boys let out a sigh
                   Bb
The beat begins to quicken
C
Crowd ascends the stairs
C
Climbin\' on the chairs
                   Bb
The plot begins to thicken
C
Phasers on stun

[Chorus]
F         G      C
Take them to the carnival
 (take them to the carnival)
F        G        C
Let them hear the conga
F           G     C
Tonight the tempo feels
 so right
Bb              C
Tomorrow may be wrong-a

[Instrument]
C C Bb C C   x2

[Verse 3]
C
Gendarme close her down
C
Make her leave the town
               Bb
She caught the flight to Rio
C
Nothin\' to say

C
Wavin\' from the plane
C
Pourin\' pink champagne
               Bb
She toasts her loyal trio
C
It was a lucrative stay
