Lyrics

I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, monsieur, with you My heart won't let my feet do things they should do You know what? You're lovely And so 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 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 beau coup 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 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 beau coup I know that music leads the way to romance So, if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance I won't twist I won't dance I won't dance
