<P> `` I Wo n't Dance '' is a jazz standard song with music by Jerome Kern , that has had two different sets of lyrics , the first written by Oscar Hammerstein II and Otto Harbach in 1934 , the second written by Dorothy Fields ( though Jimmy McHugh was also credited ) in 1935 . The two sets of lyrics share little but the common refrain of `` I wo n't dance '' . The second set of lyrics is the much better known one , and the song in this form has been covered by many artists . </P>
