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 do You know what, you're handsome! You know what, too handsome! 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 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'm 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 you hold me in your arms, I won't dance 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'm not asbestos And that's why... Je n'danse pas, je n'veux pas! Je n'danse pas, je n'peux pas! Je n'danse pas, merci, monsieur Vous êtes gentil et je vous aimes, c'est vrai Mais je n'peux danser quand vous êtes si près Which means that when I'm in your arms, I won't dance!
