Got your invitation to the dance Wear your party dress Maybe I was just an innocent But I confess I never even knew the song The orchestra was playing
See the cuties in their party clothes Oh it's getting warm Off the shoulder cut into the hip Like a uniform Did you think I'd want to tow the line Well now the line is broken
[Chorus:] Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance Refuse to dance
You said you're such a pretty thing You could make a mark I'll teach you all the steps you'll need Guide you through the dark Suddenly I thought I knew the song The orchestra was playing
[Chorus]
See how they follow You say jump. They jump You say turn. They turn Look back in sorrow I won't be there
