Beautiful music
Dangerous rhythm
It's something daring, The Continental
A way of dancing that's really "entre nous"

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
Not a bad idea
The Continental, hm, 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 will 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
