(He:)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 do things they should do.
You know what? You′re lovely.


(She:)And so what? I'm lovely.

(He:)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.

(She:)When you dance, you′re charming and you're gentle,
'specially when you do the Continental.

(He:)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.
