The Continental ((aka The Painless Dentist Song (Allan Sherman))
Composer(s): Con Conrad - Herbert Magidson
Performer(s): Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers
Ginger: 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 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 Her eyes answer your song Two bodies swaying, The Continental And you are saying just what you're dreaming of So keep on dancing, The Continental For it's a song of romance and of love You kiss while you're dancing
(Fred: Not a bad idea)
The Continental, hmmmmm It's continental You sing while you're dancing Your voice is gentle and sentimental You stroll together arm in arm You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm You will 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
