It's different, daring,
crazy, 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 moonlight and romance.
It's quite the fashion,
the continental,
because you tell of your love
while you dance.
Your lips whisper so tenderly,
arise and sing a song.
Twice swaying, the Continental
And you were saying
just what you're thinking of
So keep on dancing, the Continental
For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing
It's Continental
It's continental,
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle an d sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
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 your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that
you can't control
And you will do the goddamned level
all the time
Beautiful music, dangerous rhythm
Beautiful music, dangerous rhythm you
