It's An Old Southern Custom

I Won't Dance - Eddy Duchin

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 do things they should do

You know what You're lovely

And so what I'm 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 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
