I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance monsieur 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

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 beacoup

I know that music leads the way to romance

So if I hold you in my 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'm not asbestos

And that's why I won't dance, what 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
