Lyrics:
[Jack]
I like it here,
The atmosphere,
The music and lighting
Are gay and exciting,
And look who's here in my arms!
I'm feeling swell!
I want to tell
The trumpet to blow on,
The fiddlers to bow on,
Hope to tell you,
I hope to go on.

On through the night,
Till the night is through,
Let's keep right on dancing
Now that I've met you!
Do I like dancing?
Confidentially I do!
If this is love,
What a way to start!
Heaven in my arms,
Music in my heart!
A melody espcially
Contrived for my heart!

[Robert]
A melody especially
For lovers to dance to.

[Grace]
A tune a gal chants to
Her fav'rite partner of all!

[Boys]
A melody especially
For stags to cut in on,
For stags to butt in on,
It's a melody girls get thin on!

[All]
On through the night,
Till the night is through,
Let's keep right on dancing
Now that I've met you!
Do I like dancing?
Confidentially I do!
If this is love,
What a way to start!
Heaven in my arms,
Music in my heart!
A melody especially
Contrived for my heart!

[Jack]
On through the night,
Till the night is through.

[Girls]
Ooh,
I like it here,
Ooh,
The atmosphere,
Go right on dancing,
I'm glad I met you dancing.

[Boys]
Let's keep right on dancing,
Right on, now that I've met you.
Do I like dancing?

[Frances]
Confidentially I do!

[Jack]
If this is love,
What a way to start,
Heaven in my arms,
Music in my heart!

[Girls]
Oh, if this is love...
