I Won't Dance - Blossom Dearie
I won't dance don't ask me
I won't dance don't ask me
I won't dance monsieur with you
My heart won't let me feet do things that they should do
You know what you're handsome
You know what too handsome
Oh but 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 lead the way to romance
So if you hold me in your arms I won't dance
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
Je ne danse pas je ne peux pas
Je ne danse pas je ne veux pas
Je ne danse pas merci monsieur
Vous êtes gentil et je vous aime c'est vrai
Mais je ne peux pas danser quand vous êtes si près
Which means that when I'm in your arms I won't dance
