|
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, 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
|
|
|
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 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
|
|
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, 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 arms I won't dance!!
