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
