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]

[Meg]
No, I cannot dance tonight!

[Meg]

[Beth]

[Marmee & Beth]
Delighted!
[Meg]
The shoes
[Jo]
Which ones?
[Marmee & Beth]
