Lyrics for Song: I Won't Dance
Lyrics for Album: 6 Classic Albums [2012]
(Dorothy Fields/Oscar Hammerstein II/Otto Harbach/Jerome Kern/Jimmy McHugh)
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 me feet do things they should do
You know what, you're handsome
You know what, too handsome
Oh but 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
[in french]
Which means when I'm in your arms I won't dance
