[Men:]
Come away, have one more waltz with us now;
Don't you say you're feeling tired, anyhow!
[Girls:]
We can keep it up yet,
'Tisn't time to sup yet,
And the band is playing,
Now for one dance more!
[Men:]
At a ball, why should we break off the fun?
Hang it all! We feel we've only begun!
[Girls:]
Don't you get excited,
We are quite delighted
To be gaily swaying
On a perfect floor!
[All:]
Waltz on till dawn with its glimmer
Makes all the lights dimmer,
And smiles on our laughter!
A fast dance for the last dance,
Then for luck have another turn after!
Or if a couple should stray out
And possibly stay out
To chatter, no matter!
We'll let them, and forget them,
Don't you know?
Come away, have one more waltz with us now;
Don't you say you're feeling tired, anyhow!
We can keep it up yet,
'Tisn't time to sup yet,
And the band is playing,
Now for one dance more!
[Girls:]
This is the ball of the season,
With reason we say;
No other dance is so jolly
As one with Lady Dolly;
Simply the cream of the season,
So bright and chic and gay,
We should be glad if she just had
Such a one ev'ry day!

This is the ball of the season,

We should be glad if she just had
One of such parties a day!
