I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, this year, with you
My heart won't let my feet
do things they should do
You know what?, you're lovely
You know what?, so 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 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
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 -
