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 my feet do things they should do

Say, you know what? You're lovely

You know what? You're lovely

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 I hold you in my arms, I won't dance

Oh, when you dance you're charming and you're gentle

'Specially when you do that 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 I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
