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   The Continental
