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 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
