Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
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
You kiss while you're dancing
It's continental, ooh, it's
continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and so
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 dancin'
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
<brief instrumental>
You'll find while you're dancin'
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
The Continental!
