[00:04.89] Fred: That's not a bad tune, what is it?
[00:07.92] Ginger: It's the newest thing over here, it's called the Continental
[00:10.60] Fred: The Continental? oh
[00:13.97] I like it
[00:16.90] That's the second thing I've found, I'd like to take back home with me.
[00:22.84] Do you know the words?
[00:23.81] Ginger:
[00:25.19] Beautiful music
[00:30.16] Dangerous rhythm
[00:35.22] It's something daring, the Continental
[00:37.61] A way of dancing that's really ultra new
[00:40.04] It's very subtle, the Continental
[00:42.63] Because it does what you want it to do
[00:48.41] It has a passion, the Continental
[00:51.14] An invitation to moonlight and romance
[00:53.62] It's quite the fashion, the Continental
[00:56.31] Because you tell of your love while you dance
[00:59.61] Your lips whisper so tenderly
[01:03.76] Her eyes answer your song
[01:08.48] Two bodies swaying, the Continental,
[01:10.88] And you are saying just what you're dreaming of
[01:14.35] So, keep on dancing the Continental
[01:15.88] For it's a song of romance and of love
[01:20.80] You kiss while you're dancing
[01:24.50] That's not a bad idea.
[01:25.83] It's continental, hum, it's continental
[01:30.18] You sing while you're dancing
[01:34.40] Your voice is gentle and sentimental
[01:39.41] You stroll together arm in arm
[01:43.95] You nonchalantly glide along with grace and charm.
[01:48.22] You'll find while you're dancing
[01:52.78] That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul,
[01:55.11] A certain rhythm that you can't control
[01:57.58] And you will do the Continental all the time
[04:04.97] the Spanish guy:
[04:06.70] Beautiful music
[04:10.91] Dangerous rhythm
[04:16.00] It's something daring, the Continental
[04:17.85] A way of dancing that's really ultra new
[04:20.11] It's very subtle, the Continental
[04:22.44] Because it does what you want it to do
[04:28.13] It has a passion, the Continental
[04:30.12] An invitation to moonlight and romance
[04:32.19] It's quite the fashion, the Continental
[04:34.53] Because you tell of your love while you dance
[04:37.43] Your lips whisper so tenderly
[04:41.71] Her eyes answer your song
[04:46.23] Two bodies swaying, the Continental
[04:48.53] And you are saying just what you're thinking of
[04:50.62] So, keep on dancing the Continental
[04:53.11] For it's a song of romance and of love
[04:59.30] You kiss while you're dancing
[05:03.46] It's continental, it's continental
[05:07.80] You sing while you're dancing
[05:11.89] Your voice is gentle, so sentimental
[05:17.04] You'll know before the dance is through
[05:21.09] That you're in love with she and she's in love with you
[05:25.31] You'll find while you're dancing
[05:29.69] That there's a rhythm in your heart and soul,
[05:31.91] A certain rhythm that you can't control
[05:35.70] And you will do the Continental all the time
[05:38.25] A dancing girl:
[05:41.18] Dukes and Lords of noble station
[05:43.28] Love the new sophistication of the Continental
[05:49.64] In a Belgian hall room
[05:51.16] In the Monte Carlo ballroom
[05:53.56] You will see the Continental
[05:58.36] In a Pairs bistro crowded with apache
[06:02.80] You will see the Continental in the best French fashion
[06:07.05] Spain and Italy, Transylvania, Norway, Sweden, and Romania.
[06:11.20] Do the Continental!
[06:15.75] On the dikes of Zuider Zee, the wooden shoes have found the key
[06:19.79] To Continental!
[06:24.60] It's like a fever
[06:26.83] It's like a plague
[06:29.03] It's swept all Europe
[06:30.75] From Moscow to the Hague
[06:38.33] You kiss while you're dancing
[06:43.49] The Continental. The rhythm is driving you wild
[06:45.78] The Continental. A meter that's isn't so mild
[06:48.54] You sing while you're dancing.
[06:53.24] His voice is gentle, it thrills you
[06:54.85] The touch of his hand
[06:55.73] The Continental. A meter that you understand
[06:58.25] You'll know before the dance is through.
[07:03.24] That you're in love with her, and she's in love with you.
[07:07.94] You'll find while you're dancing.
[07:12.81] There's a rhythm in your heart and soul.
[07:15.28] A certain rhythm that you can't control
[07:17.67] The Continental
[07:20.11] The Continental
[07:22.80] The Continental!
