Carol
Hello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going to my machine so we can cruise on now
I'm gonna sing a little jangle, we can jump and shout
It's got to fall back on the holly, it's a long ride
You park your car out in the open, you can walk inside

A little cutie, (?)
Everytime you make the scene, you find the joy in jam
Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
But I'm going out to dance
We can jam all night and day

But if you wanted some music
Let the boys play
Hold tight, catch your foot
Don't let it carry away

Don't let the heat overcome you
When you play us aloud
Although the music can take you
When you get a crowd

If you can't dance on, no
Oh you wish you could
I've got my eyes on you, sugar
Don't you dance good?

Oh, Carol
Don't let him steal your heart away
But I'm going out to dance
We can jam all night and day

Don't let him steal your heart away




But I'm going out to dance
We can jam all night

The lyrics are encouraging Carol to come out, let loose, and have fun, while warning her not to let her heart be stolen by anyone.


The chorus repeats the message, with the singer urging Carol not to let anyone steal her heart, but promising that they can dance and jam together all night long. The lyrics go on to mention other aspects of the night out, such as parking the car and walking inside. The singer describes a cute girl who enjoys the music, and encourages the listener to hold tight and not let the music carry them away. There is also a reference to not being able to dance, perhaps implying that the music is so good that even those who don't know how to dance can't resist moving their feet.


Overall, "Carol" is a fun, upbeat song that embodies the spirit of the glam rock era. It is a celebration of going out and enjoying oneself, and encourages listeners to let their hair down and dance to the music.
