Bed, bed, I couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to set it down
Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight
Not for all the jewels in the crown
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once my heart took flight
I only know when he
began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced
All night
It's after 3 now
Don't you agree now?
She ought to be in bed
-I could have danced -You're tired out
-All night -You must be dead
-I could have danced -Your face is drawn
-All night -Your eyes are red
-And still have -Now say good night, please
-Begged for more -Turn out the light, please. It's really time for you to be in bed
-I could have spread -Do come along
-My wings -Do as you're told
-And done a thousand things -Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to scold -I've never -You're up too late, miss
-I've never -You're up too late, miss
-Done before -And sure as fate, miss
You'll catch a cold
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once, my heart took flight
-I only know -Put down your book
-When he -The work will keep
-began to dance -Now settle down
-With me -And go to sleep
I could have danced, danced, danced
-All night -I understand, dear
It's all been grand, dear
But now it's time to sleep
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night And still have begged for more
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before
I'll never know what made it so exciting
Why all at once, my heart took flight
I only know when he
began to dance with me
I could have danced, danced, danced
All night!
