I Won't Dance

I Won't Dance - Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers

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 dramatically

While I wait here so ecstatically

You just look and say emphatically

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

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

Ah but 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 beaucoup

I know that music leads

The way to romance

And if I hold you in my arms I won't dance
