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! - Zábava
I love that Voces8 is also incorporating vocal jazz into their repertoire. They're so amazing!!!
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.
Well this is a little different for VOCES8 .... and I LOVE it!! So versatile and multi-talented. Everything you do turns out so magnificent.
From Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to VOCES8............Fabulous!
Delighted to see Euan featured! Andrea is wonderful as always. Your modern stuff is wonderful- and shows off your incredible versiti;ity. Bravo!
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.
Ah, Ewan! Such a great performance all! Thanks! ❤❤
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!
Looking forward to this
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
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!
Bravo immer beste Musik und jetzt auch Choreografie, ihr seid mein Lieblingschor!

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
Damn, I've fallen in love with Andrea yet again
Ditto for Euan❤ If I were younger…
The VOCES6 ensemble is a very, very good jazz accompaniment to the dynamic duo, Andrea & Euan.
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!
Amazing!!! We heard this live a few weeks ago. Incredible 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Bravo!!! You amazing people can do anything to the tens! So much fun to listen too and watch. Bless you and thank you!
Andrea is mesmerizing
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.
Katie! ❤

Besser geht`s nicht.
Die sind weltklasse...
beautiful in every aspect!
perfection with a sense of humor...like a politician with a conscience....thanks Voces8!
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.
reminds me of The Manhatten Transfer.....I LOVE THIS !!!
Such versatility, really great production and the usual immaculate singing❤️
Well that is beyond awesome! ❤❤❤

Amazing versatility on another level from the best acapella group in the world - hoping it is on their song list when performing in Lamberhurst on June 29th (sold out!).
