The Continental piano leadsheet with chords

Level 5Eb160 BPMFrank Sinatra
Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

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 do.

It has a 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 the 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

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.

Beautiful music!

Beautiful music!
