The Continental

It's something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that's really ultra new
It's very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do

It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to rhythm and romance
It's quite a fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance

Your lips whisper so tenderly
Her eyes answer your love
Everybody swinging the Continental
And you're a-saying just what you're thinking of
So keep on dancing the Continental
For it's the song of romance and of love

You kiss while you're dancing
It's Continental, in Continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and sentimental
You'll find before the dance is through
Oh, that you're in love with her and she's in love with you

You'll find while you're dancing
That there's a rhythm in you heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time

It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to rhythm and romance
It's quite a fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance

Your lips whisper so tenderly
Her eyes answer your love
Hm, Continental
So keep on dancing the Continental
For it's the song of romance and of love
You'll find before the dance is through
Oh, that you're in love with her and she's in love with you

I know you'll find while you're dancing
That there's a rhythm in you heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time

While there's a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you can't control
And you will do the Continental all the time
The Continental, the Continental
