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!!
