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 dramatic'lly. |
|
While i wait here so ecstatic'lly |
|
You just look and say emphatic'lly |
|
Not this season! there's a reason! |
|
[he] |
|
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 the things they should do! |
|
You know what? you're lovely, |
|
[she] |
|
And so what? i'm lovely! |
|
[he] |
|
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! |
|
[she] |
|
When you dance you're charming and you're gentle! |
|
'spec'lly when you do the 'continental'. |
|
[he] |
|
But this feeling isn't purely mental; |
|
For heaven rest us, i'm not asbestos. |
|
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! |
