Its something daring, the Continental
A way of dancing thats really ultra-new
Its very subtle, the Continental
Because it does what you want it to do

It has a passion, the Continental
An invitation to moonlight, romance
Its quite the fashion, the Continental
Because you tell of your love while you dance

Your lips whisper so tenderly
Her eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental
And you are saying just what youre thinking of
So keep on dancing the Continental
For its the song of romance and of love

You kiss, kiss kiss, while youre dancin
You sing how you sing while youre dancin
You know before the dance is through
That youre in love with her, shes in love with you
You will find that while youre dancin
Theres a rhythm in your heart and soul
A certain rhythm that you cant control
You will do the Continental all the time
