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 my 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 my 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 my arms I won't dance
