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 the things they should do
Say, 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
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’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
Oh, when you dance you’re charming and you’re gentle
Specially when you do that 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
