Lyrics Portrait of Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald

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 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

Won't dance, why sould I?

I won't dance, how could I?

I won't dance, merçi beacoup

I know

That music lead 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 madame with you

My heart won't 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 won't dance, I

Won't dance

I won't dance, merci beaucoup

I know that music lead the way to romance

So if I hold

You in arms I won't dance
