Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
That they should do
[Verse 2]
You know what? You're something, yes you are
You're something 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
[Verse 3]
When you dance you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do the Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
[Verse 4]
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 you hold me in your arms I won't dance
[Verse 5]
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 you hold me in your arms I won't dance
[Verse 6]
No, no, no I won't dance!
