📜 Lyrics
Ah, here's a song that we, we, we remember from the days of the great Fred Astaire, years ago
Wonderful arrangement by Neil Hefti
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'd like to do
You know what? You're lovely
You know what? So lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm just like an ocean wave that's bumped on the floor
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do that Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
'Cause Heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, why 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 mean, 'specially when you do that Continental
Oh, but this feeling isn't purely mental
Because Heaven rest us, I am not paid of asbestos
And that's why
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I heard that music leads the way, the way to romance
So If I hold you in my arms
I won't dance
Wonderful arrangement by Neil Hefti
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'd like to do
You know what? You're lovely
You know what? So lovely
And, oh, what you do to me
I'm just like an ocean wave that's bumped on the floor
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle
'Specially when you do that Continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
'Cause Heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
And that's why I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, why 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 mean, 'specially when you do that Continental
Oh, but this feeling isn't purely mental
Because Heaven rest us, I am not paid of asbestos
And that's why
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I heard that music leads the way, the way to romance
So If I hold you in my arms
I won't dance
