The Continental

Two bodies swing, the continental
You'll know before the dance is through
Your lips whisper so tenderly
And you'll find while you're dancing
It's continental, it's continental
And you will do the continental all the time
That you're in love with her and she's in love with you
You kiss while you're dancing

Your voice is gentle and sentimental
It's quite the fashion, the continental
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the continental
It's very subtle, the continental
An invitation to moonlight and romance
You sing while you're dancing
So keep on dancing, the continental

Her eyes answer your song
And you are saying just what you're thinking of
For it's the song of romance and of love

That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul

A way of dancing, that's really ultra-new
Because you tell of your love while you dance
A certain rhythm that you can't control
Beautiful music, dangerous rhythm
