(H. Magidson, C. Conrad)

[Recorded Januaru 27, 1964, Los Angeles]



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



You kiss while you're dancing

It's continental, ooh, it's continental

You sing while you're dancing

Your voice is gentle and so 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 dancin'

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



[brief instrumental]



You'll find while you're dancin'

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



Beautiful music

Dangerous rhythm



The Continental!
