| 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 rhythm and romance
 | 
| It’s quite a fashion, the Continental
 | 
| Because you tell of your love while you dance
 | 
| Your lips whisper so tenderly
 | 
| Her eyes answer your love
 | 
| Everybody swinging the Continental
 | 
| And you’re a-saying just what you’re thinking of
 | 
| So keep on dancing the Continental
 | 
| For it’s the song of romance and of love
 | 
| You kiss while you’re dancing
 | 
| It’s Continental, Continental
 | 
| You sing while you’re dancing
 | 
| Your voice is gentle and sentimental
 | 
| You’ll find before oh the dance is through
 | 
| Oh that you’re in love with her and she’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
