Here is a little parody based on "The Continental" (1934-lyrics by Herb Magidson) from that appropriately named film "The Gay Divorcee" starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Funny thing, I only had to change three words.
I call it, "The Covenantal."
Beautiful feelin,
Dangerous doctrine
It's something daring, the Covenantal
A way of dancing that's really ultra new
It's very subtle, the Covenantal
Because it does what you want it to do
It has a passion, the Covenantal
An invitation to moonlight and romance
It's quite the fashion, the Covenantal
Because you tell of your love while you dance
Your lips whisper so tenderly
His eyes answer your song
Two bodies swaying, the Covenantal,
And you are saying just what you're thinking of
So, keep on dancing the Covenantal
For it's a song of romance and of love
You kiss while you're dancing
It's covenantal, oh oh oh, it's covenantal
You sing while you're dancing
Your voice is gentle, oh oh oh, and sentimental
You'll know before the dance is through
That you're in love with him and he'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 Covenantal all the time
Beautiful feelin
Dangerous doctrine
Beautiful feelin
Dangerous doctrine
