Sisters, which premiered
In 1934. Then when rko released the screen version in march of 1935, dorothy fields and jimmy mchugh
Changed the lyrics of the song, only keeping the title which oscar hammerstein ii originated.
I wont dance, don't ask me
I wont dance, don't ask me
I wont dance madame with you
My heart wont
Let me feet do things that they sould do
You know what, you're lovely you know what, you're so lovely
And you know 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 chairming 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
Wont dance, why sould i?
I wont dance, how could i?
I wont dance, merçi beacoup
I know
That music lead the way to romance
So if I hold you in arms I wont dance
I wont dance, don't ask me
I wont dance, don't ask me
I wont dance madame with you
My heart wont let me feet do things that
They want to do
You know what, you're so lovely, ring a ding-ding, you're lovely
And you know 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 chairming 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 wont dance, I
Wont dance
I wont dance, merci beaucoup
I know that music lead the way to romance
So if I hold
You in arms I wont dance
