Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, The Continental,
A way of dancing that's really 'entre nous'.
It's very subtle, The Continental,
Because it does what you want it to do.
It has a passion, The Continental,
An invitation [C7]to [C7]moonlight and [Bm]ɾomance.
It's quite the fashion, The Continental,
Because you [A7tell of your love while you [A7dance.
Your lips whisper so tenderly.
Her eyes answer your song.
Two bodies swaying, The Continental,
And you [A7are saying just what you're dreaming of.
So keep on [C7]dancing, The Continental,
For it's a song [Am]of ɾomance and [Bm]of love.
You kiss while you're dancing.
Not a bad idea.
The Continental, hmmmmm. It's continental.
You sing while you're dancing.
Your voice is gentle and [Bm]sentimental.
You stɾoll together arm in arm.
You nonchalantly glide along [Am]with grace and [Bm]charm.
You will find while you're dancing
That there's a ɾhythm in your heart and [Bm]soul,
A certain ɾhythm that you [A7can't contɾol,
And you [A7will do
The Continental all [Em]the time.
