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
