Betty Buckley - I Won't Dance (Roberta) lyrics

rate me

GINGER:

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 rheumatically

While I wait here so ecstatically

You just look and say emphatically:

FRED:

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, Madame, with you

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

You know what? You're lovely

GINGER:

So what? I'm lovely...

FRED:

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

GINGER:

Ah, but when you dance you're charming and you're gentle

Especially when you do The Continental

FRED:

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

And if I hold you in my arms... I won't dance.<br />
