Lyrics

[01:16.62] Ginger:
[01:18.28] Think of what you're losing
[01:19.94] By constantly refusing to dance with me
[01:22.22] You'd be the idol of France with me
[01:25.20] And yet you stand there
[01:26.35] And shake your foolish head dramatically
[01:28.85] While I wait here so ecstatically
[01:31.50] You just look and say emphatically
[01:32.00] Fred:
[01:33.94] Not this season, there is a reason.
[01:39.22] I won't dance, don't ask me
[01:41.60] I won't dance, don't ask me
[01:43.99] I won't dance, Madame, with you
[01:47.97] My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do
[01:53.53] You know what? You're lovely
[01:53.94] Ginger:
[01:55.85] And so what? I'm lovely.
[01:56.94] Fred:
[01:58.94] but oh, what you do to me
[02:01.94] I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore
[02:06.79] I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
[02:10.60] Ginger:
[02:12.02] When you dance you're charming and you're gentle
[02:17.02] Especially when you do the Continental
[02:20.44] Fred:
[02:22.27] But this feeling isn't purely mental
[02:25.65] For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos
[02:30.15] And that's why
[02:30.60] I won't dance, why should I?
[02:33.40] I won't dance, how could I?
[02:35.85] I won't dance, Merci beau coup.
[02:39.52] I know that music leads the way to romance
[02:44.20] And if I hold you in my arms
[02:47.28] I won't dance
