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 that they should do
You know what? You're lovely
You know what? You are so lovely
And, 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
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, 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
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 (heaven rest us)
I am not asbestos (I am not asbestos)
And that's why (and that's why)
(Dance with me) I won't dance (I want my arms around you)
I won't dance (Oh, will you dance with me?)
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
You might dance
You might dance, I'll ask you
You might dance, oh really
I might dance, oh really
I might dance
Dance with me!
