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 three now |
|
Don't you agree now? |
|
She ought to be in bed |
|
I could have danced all night |
|
(You're tired out, you must be dead) |
|
I could have danced all night |
|
(Your face is drawn, your eyes are red) |
|
And still have begged for more |
|
(Now say goodnight, turn out the light) |
|
(Please, it's really time for you to be in bed) |
|
I could have spread my wings |
|
(Do come along, do as you're told) |
|
And done a thousand things, I've never done before |
|
(Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to stir) |
|
(You're up too late, please, it sure is late) |
|
(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 when he began to dance with me |
|
(Put down your book, the work'll keep) |
|
(Now settle down 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 and still have begged for more |
|
I could have spread my wings |
|
And done a thousand things, I'd 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 |
