Continental (you Kiss While You`re Dancing) 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
