Artist : Leo Reisman Song : Continental
The Continental - words by Herb Magidson,
music by Con Conrad - Academy Award-winning
song from the 1934 film version of "The Gay
Divorcee" - as recorded in London, November
1934, by Sam Browne with Scottish
pianist-arranger George Scott-Wood (1903-1978)
and the London Piano-Accordian Band
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, 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
