The Continental

Beautiful (Ebmaj7)music!

Dangerous (Ebmaj7)rhythm!

(Bb7)It's something (Fm7)daring,

(Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental," a way of (Fm7)dancing that's (Bb7)really ultra (Ebmaj7)(Eb6)new;

it's very (Fm7)subtle,

(Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental," (Cm)because it (Fm7)does what you (Bb7)want it to (Ebmaj7)do.

(Bb7)It has a (Fm7)passion,

(Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental," an (Fm7)invitation to (Bb7)moonlight and (Ebmaj7)(Eb6)romance;

it's quite the (Fm7)fashion,

(Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental," (Cm)because you (Fm7)tell of your (Bb7)love while you (Ebmaj7)do.

(Bb7)It has a (Eb6)dance.

(Eb7)Your (Abm)lips (Db7)whisper, so (Gbmaj9)tenderly,

(Eb7)her (Abm)eyes (Db7)answer your (Bb)song.

Two bodies (Fm7)swaying (Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental,"

and you are (Fm7)saying just (Bb7)what you're thinking (Ebmaj7)(Eb6)of.

So keep on (Fm7)dancing (Bb7)"The (Eb)Continental,"

for (Cm)it's the (Fm7)song of (Bb7)romance and of (Eb)love.

(Eb7)You (Ab)kiss while you're dancing;

It's continental,

(Abdim)it's (Eb9)continental.

(Eb9)You (Bbm)sing, while you're dancing;

Your voice is (Eb9)gentle

(Ebaug)and (Ab)sentimental.

(Eb7)You'll (Ab)know, (Eb)(Ab)before (Gb)the (F7)dance is through,

that (Bbm)you're in (F)love with (Bbm)her and (F7)she's in (Bbm)love (Bbm7)with (Eb9)you.

(Eb7)You'll (Ab)find, while you're dancing,

that there's a (Eb7)rhythm (Adim)in your (Eb7)heart and soul;

a certain rhythm (Adim)that you (Eb7)can't control,

and you will do "The (Adim)(Bbm7)Continental" (Eb9)all the (Abmaj7)time.
