HUGH:
You want all our love and our devotion,
You want our hearts and souls right on the line
(Hello, Mom! How are you doing?)
I have no doubt that we could love you forever,
The only trouble is you really don't have the time

GIRLS:
We've got one night, we've got one night,
We've got one night, we've only got one night...

HUGH:
One night only, one night only
That's all I have to spare
One night only, let's not pretend to care

GIRLS:
Love me for one night!

HUGH:
One night only, one night [bad word] on, big [bad word] on
One night only, we only have till dawn

GIRLS:
We only have till dawn…

HUGH:
Excellent! We've only got 11 o'clock. This is in the Old School's, it's the Tonys saluting the best of Broadway which this year included everything from flying witches to wolf stuff, ??? from Jesuit gallants and the Wizard of Oz to puppets with personal problems, from Boy George to fight George. Look at these girls! They're wearing jackets. Ladies and gentlemen, the Dynamites from Hairspray, the Urgents from the Little Shop of Horrors and the Radio from Carolinal Change. And to all the nominees, no matter what happens tonight, this is a celebration whose, whether you win or lose

In the morning this feeling will be gone,
It has no chance going on
Something so right has got no chance to live
So let's forget about chances, this is one night I will…
(This is Radio City Music Hall, bring on the Rockets!)
One night only, one night only
That's all I have to spare
One night only, let's not pretend to care

GIRLS:
Love me for one night!

HUGH:
One night only, one night only!
 [bad word] on, big [bad word] on, big [bad word] on, big [bad word] on

HUGH:
One night only, we only have till dawn

GIRLS:
We only have till dawn,
We only have till dawn,
We only have till dawn,
We only have till dawn…

HUGH:
Everyone has their own special dream
And your dream's just about [bad word] [bad word] And it's not as bad as it may seem
If you open your eyes to what's in front of you!
One night only, one night [bad word] on, big [bad word] on
One night only, we only have till dawn

GIRLS:
Love me for one night!

HUGH:
One night only, one night only,
There's nothing more to say
One night only, words get in the way
 [bad word] on [bad word] on!
One night [bad word] on [bad word] on!
One night [bad word] on [bad word] on!
One night only, one night!
