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
You know what?, you're so 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
'specially when we do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental
For, heaven rest us, we're 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
We know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in 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, Madame, with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do
You know what?, you're lovely
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
And, 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
'specially when we do the continental
But this feeling isn't purely mental (oh really)
For, heaven rest us, I am 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
We know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I won't dance!!
I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance, dance, dance
I won't dance
Dance
I Won’t Dance was written by Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields & Oscar Hammerstein II & Otto Harbach & Jimmy McHugh.
