Continental Lyrics

The Continental
- words by Herb Magidson, music by Con Conrad
- Academy
Award-winning song from the 1934 film version of "The Gay Divorcee"
- as
recorded in London, November 1934, by Sam Browne with Scottish
pianist-arranger
George Scott-Wood (1903-1978) and the London
Piano-Accordian Band

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, 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
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
