Till the Clouds Roll By movie - I Won't Dance lyrics

rate me

<br>

<br>

[she]<br>

Think of what you're losing<br>

By constantly refusing to dance with me.<br>

You'd be the idol of France with me!<br>

<br>

And yet you stand there and shake<br>

Your foolish head dramatic'lly.<br>

While I wait here so ecstatic'lly<br>

You just look and say emphatic'lly<br>

Not this season! There's a reason!<br>

<br>

[he]<br>

I won't dance! Don't ask me;<br>

I won't dance! Don't ask me;<br>

I won't dance, Madame, with you.<br>

My heart won't let my feet do the things they should do!<br>

You know what? You're lovely,<br>

<br>

[she]<br>

And so what? I'm lovely!<br>

<br>

[he]<br>

But oh! What you do to me!<br>

I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore;<br>

I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor!<br>

<br>

[she]<br>

When you dance you're charming and you're gentle!<br>

'Spec'lly when you do the "Continental".<br>

<br>

[he]<br>

But this feeling isn't purely mental;<br>

For heaven rest us, I'm not asbestos.<br>

I won't dance! Why should I!<br>

I won't dance! How could I?<br>

I won't dance! Merci beau coup!<br>

I know that music leads the way to romance:<br>

So if I hold you in my arms I won't dance!<br>

<br>
