Lyrics Maureen McGovern – The Continental
Text:
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It’s something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing that’s really ultra new
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
His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental
And you are 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, oh oh oh, it’s continental
You sing while you’re dancing
Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental
You’ll know before the dance is through
That you’re in love with him and he’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 Continental all the time
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
