I think of what I'm losing By constantly refusing To dance with her I'll be the isle of ... with her
And yet I stand here Thouth me feet are more than ready My brain is strong and far from steady My arms are there for Is the definite "no"
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 so what?, I'm 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 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am 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 beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in arms I won't dance
