[Meg, spoken]
What will I do when someone asks me to dance?

[Marmee, spoken]
Just smile, and say–

(sung)
I'd be delighted

[Meg]
Delighted?

[Marmee]
The offer him your hand

[Meg]
Delighted?

[Marmee]
Delighted
Now let him take command

[Meg]
I'm hardly delighted

[Marmee]
You're dancing like a candle!
[Meg]
No, I cannot dance tonight!

[Jo]
I'd be delighted!

[Meg]
Then you go

[Beth]
The music is entrancing

[Jo]
Exotic

[Beth]
Hypnotic

[Marmee]
The sound of men romancing

[Meg]
Delighted?

[Marmee, Beth & Jo]
Delighted!
[Beth]
And some of them are glancing!

[Jo]
People everywhere

[Marmee & Beth]
Elegance to spare

[Meg]
How can I be sure they'll like me when I'm there?

[Marmee, Beth & Jo]
I can see you dancing all night!

[All]
I'd be delighted
Delighted!

[Meg]
So glad we were invited

[All]
Completely delighted

[Jo]
Who paid the coachman?
[Meg]

[All]
Delighted, provided success has been decided

[Jo]
The gloves

[Marmee & Beth]
Delighted!

[Meg]
The shoes

[Jo]
Which ones?

[Marmee & Beth]
Delighted!

[Meg]
You choose!

[Jo]
No hat

[Marmee & Beth]
Delighted!

[Meg]
No time

[Meg & Jo]

You look sublime!

[All]
Delighted!
