LYRICS by Dorothy Fields
Hey there cutes! Put on your dancing boots
And come dance with me,
Come dance with me on an evening for some Terpsichore!
Pretty face, I know a swinging place:
Come on dance with me!
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
I won't dance, don't ask me!
I won't dance, don't ask me!
I won't dance, monsieur, with you!
My heart won't let my feet do things they should do.
You know what, you're lovely,
You know what, you're so lovely,
And oh, what you do to me,
I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore,
I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor.
When you dance you're charming and you're gentle,
Especially when you do the Continental.
But this feeling isn't purely mental,
For heaven rest us
I'm not asbestos,
And that's why
I won't dance, why should I?
I won't dance, how could I?
I won't dance, merci beaucoup!
I know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in my arms, I won't dance!
She won’t dance, while the rhythm swings
What cuckoo things I’ll be sayin’!
For what is music but making love to music playing!
Please dance with me!
I know that music leads the way to romance,
So if I hold you in my arms,
You know I still won't dance! - Розваги
I love that Voces8 is also incorporating vocal jazz into their repertoire. They're so amazing!!!
Damn, I've fallen in love with Andrea yet again
Ditto for Euan❤ If I were younger…
OMG please do my favourite jazz piece that goes great with opera voice. In a sentimental mood. Ever since I heard barbara hendricks sing it I've been in love with hearing a soprano.
From Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to VOCES8............Fabulous!
Andrea is mesmerizing
Well this is a little different for VOCES8 .... and I LOVE it!! So versatile and multi-talented. Everything you do turns out so magnificent.
Ah, Ewan! Such a great performance all! Thanks! ❤❤
Wonderful to see and hear this much anticipated video. Spectacular all round - it exceeds my wildest expectations. Euan and Andrea are just superb.
I'd just like to compliment the arranger and choreographer - there are so many different layers to this performance, I'm looking forward to watching and listening a few more times to get it all.
Katie! ❤
Delighted to see Euan featured! Andrea is wonderful as always. Your modern stuff is wonderful- and shows off your incredible versiti;ity. Bravo!
Love this song. I'm a big Sinatra fan, so this is approved. More of my gen z brothers and sisters need to hear music like this
Looking forward to this
Professional production all the way. Plus the Voces8 precision singing. Perfect for Andrea and Euan, but I know any of them could perform comparably. What a talented group!
The vocal mastery is superb! There are many close harmony groups past and present but Voces8 supersedes them all.
It takes real skill to harmonise with perfect tuning.
Bravo!
Exactly what I was thinking
Bravo Voces8-so entertaining! I'm smiling non stop through the whole video-great to see you let your stage acting skills fly!
Every note they sing, every way they blend, in solo and in harmony, VOCES8 is the best! Loved this!
Amazing!!! We heard this live a few weeks ago. Incredible 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
The VOCES6 ensemble is a very, very good jazz accompaniment to the dynamic duo, Andrea & Euan.
Bravo!!! You amazing people can do anything to the tens! So much fun to listen too and watch. Bless you and thank you!
Bravo immer beste Musik und jetzt auch Choreografie, ihr seid mein Lieblingschor!
Hpwirth der WERKHUELZ Musiker und Bildhauer
Utterly charming and sung as usual with the pristine vocal standards established by Voces8. The choreography is humorous and cute, if slightly over the top. :) But I just love this group so much, I can find no fault. Fantastic arrangement too!
Splendid! It's nice to see this genre of music being re-worked by a new generation of artists, just like the classics of blues, Gospel, bluegrass etc. are.
Thumbnail was an instant click. Not disappointed.
Love you all and admire your work immensly!!
you can sing anything,genious.

I’m always blown away by the post production work that brings us the best of Voces8, but this is a new level. For those who’ve commented on seeing this performance "live" ..". I have wonder if it’s really been a contemporaneous performance.
Wonderful! I thought I recognized the stage, since I was at your Kaufman Music Center performance in February, and heard this live there. Looking forward to your return.
INSTANT CRUSH ON DOMINIC
Very niiiiice
That was great! I love the traditional stuff, but please do more of this too and please come to Delaware!
