i won't dance

think of what you're losing by constantly refusing to dance with me

you'd be the idol of france with me

and yet you stand there and shake your foolish head dramatically

while wait here so ecstatically

you just look and say emphatically;

i won't dance

don't ask me

i won't dance

don't ask me

i won't dance

madam

with you

my heart won't let my feet do things they should do

you know what

you're lovely

and so what? you're still lovely

and 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

especially 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

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 my feet do things they should do

you know what

you're handsome

and so what? you're handsome

and 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

especially 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 beau coup

i know that music leads the way to romance

so if i hold you in my arms

i won't dance

i won't dance

don't ask me

i won't dance

don't ask me

i will not dance

madame

with you

my heart won't let my feet do things they should do

you know what? you're kinda lovely

and so what? i'm 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

especially when you do the continental

but this feeling isn't purely mental

for heaven rest us! i'm not asbestos

honey!

and that's why

i won't dance. why should i?

i won't dance. how could i?

i won't dance

merci beau coup

i know that music leads the way to romance

so if i hold you in my arms

i won't dance
