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.

But, oh what    you do to me.  
    Fdim    F     Fm          Fdim   G       C    C/B A7 
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped 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,  
          Bm5-/7 E7  Am7  Cdim   F7M  G7 
For heaven rest us,    I'm not  asbestos. 
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  F7M     Cdim   Dm7  Fdim      C 
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance.
