The Continental - Fred Astaire/Oscar Peterson

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

Your lips whisper so tenderly

Her eyes answer your song

Two bodies swing the continental

And you are saying just what you're thinking of

So keep on dancing the continental

For it's the 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 and sentimental

You'll know before the dance is through

That you're in love with her and she's in love with you

And 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
