Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You know what? You're lovely
You know what? You're 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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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 want to do
[Verse 4]
You know what? You're lovely
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're 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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
And that's why I won't dance
I won't dance
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
