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 know what? so 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 And this feeling isn't purely mental Cause heaven rest us I'm not as best as
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 my arms I won't dance!
