Lyrics

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 I wait here so ecstatically You just look and say emphatically Not this season Yes, there's a reason 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 Yes, you know what? You lovely, so what? You still lovely But what you do to me, I'm like an ocean wave that swamps on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor Yes, when you dance, you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do the continental But this feeling isn't Truly, man, love for heaven rests 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 still 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 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, and that's why I won't dance Why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance Mercie beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance Yes, I won't dance Don't ask me I won't dance Don't ask me I will not dance, madam, with you Yes, my heart won't let my feet do things they should do Yeah, you know what I mean You kinda lovely And so what? I'm lovely But oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's coming on the shores I feel so absolutely stumbled on the floor When you dance you're charming and you're gentle Especially when you do the continental But this feeling isn't elemental, for heaven rest us I'm not as fast as honey 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
