Roberta - I Won't Dance Lyrics

1933 Broadway
Roberta the Musical - I Won't Dance Lyrics


The song is written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach.

I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let my feet
Do things that they should do

You know what?, you're lovely
You know what?, you're so lovely
And, 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

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 am 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 arms I won't dance

I won't dance, don't ask me,
I won't dance, don't ask me
I won't dance, Madame, with you
My heart won't let me feet
Do things that they want to do

You know what?, you're lovely,
Ring-a-ding-ding, you're lovely
And, 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

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 am not asbestos

And that's why
I won't dance, I won't dance
I won't dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music leads the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms    
I won't dance!!!

Roberta the Musical Lyrics

Let's Begin
Yesterdays
The Touch of Your Hand
I'll Be Hard to Handle
I Won't Dance
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Just the Way You Look Tonight
Love To Look At
