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
