C Em7 Am7 G
I won't dance, don't ask me.

C Em7 Am7 G
I won't dance, don't ask me.

C Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 C C/B A7
I won't dance, madame, with you.

Gdim F Fm Gdim G C Em F G7
My heart won't let me do things they should do.

C Em7 Am7 G
You know what? You're lovely.

You know what? You're lovely.

C Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 C C/B A7
But, oh what you do to me.

Fdim F Fm Fdim G C C/B A7
I'm like an ocean wave that's b__ped on the shore;

Fdim F Fm Fdim G C C - Am7 - Bb7 - C
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor.

Bridge:

G# G#9 G# G#7
When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle,

C# C#9 C# C#7
'Specially when you do the Continental.

B B7 C7
But this feeling isn't purely mental,

Bm7-5 E7 Am7 Cdim Fmaj7 G7
For heaven rest us, I'm not as - bes - tos.

G Am7 D9
And that's why

C Em7 Am7 G
I won't dance, why should I?

C Em7 Am7 G
I won't dance, how could I?

C Em7 Am7 G C C/B A7
I won't dance, Merci beaucoup.

Gdim F Fm Fdim G C C/B A7
I know that music leads the way to romance,

Gdim Fmaj7 Cdim Dm7 Fdim C
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance.
