Lyrics : Alan Jay Lerner
Music : Frederick Loewe
Bed? bed -- i couldn't go to bed
My head's too light to try to settle 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'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
Bubba: it's after three now
Don't you agree now
She ought to be in bed
Lauren: i could've danced...（B: your time is up
L: all night...（B: you must be dead
L: i could have danced...（B: your face is drawn

L: have begged...（B: please, turn out the light
L: for more.（B: please, it's really time for you to be in bed
L: i could have spread...（B: just come along
L: my wings...（B: do as you're told

L: -er done...（B: please, i'm sure it's late
L: before.（B: please, or as sure as fate you'll catch a cold
L: i'll never know what made it so exciting
When all at once my heart took flight
I only know（B: put down that book
L: when he...（B: the book can keep
L: began to dance...（B: now settle down
L: with me...（B: and go to sleep
L: i could have...
L & b: ...danced, danced, danced...all night.
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
When 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
