Eliza: 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!
Servants: It's after three, now.
Don't you agree, now,
She ought to be in bed?
Eliza: 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.
**Servants: You're tired out.
You must be dead.
Your face is drawn.
Your eyes are red.
Now say goodnight, please.
Turn out the light, please.
It's really time
For you to be in bed.
Do come along.
Do as you're told,
Or Mrs. Pearce
Is apt to scold.
You're up too late, miss.
And sure as fate, miss.
You''ll catch a cold.
Eliza: 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!
**Servants: Put down your book,
The work'll keep .
Now settle down,
And go to sleep.
Mrs. Pearce: I understand, dear.
It's all been grand, dear.
But now it's time to sleep.
Eliza: 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!
