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 you're so lovely
And you 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
Cuz 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 beacoup
 
I know that music lead the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance
 
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 me feet do things that they want to do
 
You know what you're so lovely ring a ding-ding you're lovely
And you know 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 I won't dance
 
I won't dance merci beacoup
I know that music lead the way to romance
 
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance
