[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
I could have danced all night
(You're tired out, you must be dead)
I could have danced all night
(Your face is drawn, you're eyes are red)
And still have begged for more
(Now say goodnight, please turn off your lights
Please, it's really time for you to be in bed)
I could have spread my wings
(So come along you'll catch a cold)
And done a thousand things
(Or Mrs. Pearce is apt to scold
You're not too late, Miss, as sure as fate)
I've never done before
(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
(Put down that book, the work will 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 for sleep)

[Verse 3]
I could have danced all night
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!
