THE CONTINENTAL (The Gay Divorcee (1934))

歌词
Fred: That's not a bad tune, what is it?
Ginger: It's the newest thing over here, it's called the Continental
Fred: The Continental? oh
I like it
That's the second thing I've found, I'd like to take back home with me.
Do you know the words?
Ginger:
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
Her eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Continental,
And you are saying just what you're dreaming of
So, keep on dancing the Continental
For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing
That's not a bad idea.
It's continental, hum, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle and sentimental
You stroll together arm in arm
You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm.
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
the Spanish guy:
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
Her 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, it's continental
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle, so sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with she 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
A dancing girl:
Dukes and Lords of noble station
Love the new sophistication of the Continental
In a Belgian hall room
In the Monte Carlo ballroom
You will see the Continental
In a Pairs bistro crowded with apache
You will see the Continental in the best French fashion
Spain and Italy, Transylvania, Norway, Sweden, and Romania.
Do the Continental!
On the dikes of Zuider Zee, the wooden shoes have found the key
To Continental!
It's like a fever
It's like a plague
It's swept all Europe
From Moscow to the Hague
You kiss while you're dancing
The Continental. The rhythm is driving you wild
The Continental. A meter that's isn't so mild
You sing while you're dancing.
His voice is gentle, it thrills you
The touch of his hand
The Continental. A meter that you understand
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.
There's a rhythm in your heart and soul.
A certain rhythm that you can't control
The Continental
The Continental
The Continental!
