[SCHARWENKA]
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
[HUCK]
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, Madam, with you
My heart would let my feet do
Things they should do
You know what? You're lovely
[SCHARWENKA]
And so what
I'm lovely
[HUCK]
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
[SCHARWENKA]
When you dance
You're charming, and you're gentle
Especially when you do the Continental
[HUCK]
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
[Instrumental Break]

[HUCK & SCHARWENKA]
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance
