Lyrics

I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do You know what? You're lovely You know what? You're lovely But oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do The Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us I'm not asbestos And that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance Oh, when you dance, you're charming And you're gentle Especially when you do that Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For heaven rest us I'm not asbesdos And that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance
