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 I wait here so ecstatically

You just look and say emphatically

"Not this season, there's a reason"

"I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, Ms., with you

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

You know what? You're 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 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

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 you hold me in my arms, I won't dance
