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 they should doYou know what, you're lovely
And so 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 floorWhen you dance you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For Heaven rest us! I'm not asbestosAnd 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 danceWhen you dance you're charming and you're gentle
Especially when you do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For Heaven rest us! I'm not asbestosAnd 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 danceI won't dance, I won't dance, I won't dance
