I Won't Dance

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, don't ask me

I won't dance, monsieur, with you

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

You know what, you're lovely

And so what, you're 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 beau coup

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, merci beau coup

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, I won't dance, I won't dance
