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
