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
No 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
(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
(Now stay good-night,
please) have begged
(Turn out the light,
please) for more,
(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. Pearce
is apt to scold)
I've never done before
(You're up too late, miss
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'll keep)
began to dance with me
(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'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 danced with me
I could have danced,
danced, danced all night!
