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   His eyes answer your song      Two bodies swaying, the Continental,   And you are saying just what you're thinking of   So, keep on dancing the Continental   For it's a song of romance and of love      You kiss while you're dancing   It's continental, oh oh oh, it's continental   You sing while you're dancing   Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental      You'll know before the dance is through   That you're in love with him and he's in love with you      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   The Continental
