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,
