Overflow text into the margin with CSS-Twitter bootstrap

How could I prevent this text to jump into a new row and make it overflow into the margin? I’ve tried with text-overflow but it does not seem to work..Ideally it would appear overflowed from the left margin and disappear into the right margin. Any suggestions perhaps?

.section-overflow {
  background-color: green;
  font-size: 2rem;
  text-overflow: clip;
}

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="section">
      <p class="section-overflow">Lorem - Ipsum Lorem - Dorem - Lorem Ipsum - Lorem Dorem Ipsum - Lorem - Dorem - Lorem Ipsum </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

    You probably want to add white-space: nowrap; to your CSS. I would also change your text-overflow: clip; to overflow: hidden;:

    .section-overflow {
  background-color: green;
  font-size: 2rem;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
}
