Embed: 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 danceLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

I Won't Dance Lyrics

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

Blossom Dearie (1926-2009) was an American jazz singer and pianist.

Born on 28th April 1926 in East Durham, New York, of mixed Scottish and Norwegian ancestry, Dearie began her career in vocal groups in New York. In the early 1950s she moved to Paris, forming her own vocal group, The Blue Stars, later to become the Swingle Singers.

After signing to Verve, Dearie returned to the U.S. where, despite developing a successful career and achieving international fame, by 1974 the lack of interest from major labels led her to start her own label, Daffodil Records. She continued performing into her eighties.

Blossom Dearie died on 7th February 2009, at her apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
