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
