The Continental Songtext
von Rosemary Clooney

It′s something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra new
It′s very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do

It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance


Your lips whisper so tenderly
His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental
And you are saying just what you're thinking of
So keep on dancing, the Continental
For it′s a song of romance and of love

You kiss while you′re dancing
It's Continental, it′s Continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and sentimental
You′ll know before the dance is through

That you're in love with him, and he′s in love with you
You'll find while you're dancing
That there′s a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can′t control
And you will do the Continental all the time

Beautiful music

Dangerous rhythm

It's spreading ginger
