I Won't Dance - Live

I think of what I'm losing by constantly refusing to dance with her
I'd be the idol of France with her
And yet I stand there
Though my feet are more than ready
My brain is strong and far from steady
My answer therefore... is a definite no
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 they should do
You know what, you're lovely
And so what? I'm lovely
And oh, what you do to me
I'm like an ocean wave that 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
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
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, madame, with you
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
