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 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 my arms, I won't dance
