| 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 should do
 | 
| You know what?, you're lovely
 | 
| You know what?, you're so 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
 | 
| 'specially when you do the Continental
 | 
| But this feeling isn't purely mental
 | 
| For, heaven rest us, I am 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 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, Madame, with you
 | 
| My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do
 | 
| You know what?, you're lovely,
 | 
| Ring-a-ding-ding, you're 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
 | 
| 'specially when you do the Continental
 | 
| But this feeling isn't purely mental
 | 
| For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos
 | 
| And that's why
 | 
| I won't dance, I won't dance
 | 
| I won't dance, merci beaucoup
 | 
| I know that music leads the way to romance
 | 
| So if I hold you in arms I won't dance! |
