Dance, ballerina, dance |
|
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart |
|
Dance, ballerina, dance |
|
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part |
|
Whirl, ballerina, whirl |
|
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row |
|
This is your moment, girl |
|
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show |
|
Once you said his love must wait it's turn |
|
You wanted fame instead |
|
I guess that's your concern |
|
We live and learn |
|
And love is gone, ballerina, gone |
|
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance |
|
Dance on and on and on |
|
A thousand people here have come to see the show |
|
As 'round and 'round you go |
|
So ballerina, dance |
|
Dance, dance! |
|
Whirl ballerina |
|
Once you said his love must wait it's turn |
|
You wanted fame instead |
|
I guess that's your concern |
|
We live and learn |
|
And love is gone, ballerina, gone |
|
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance |
|
Dance on and on and on |
|
A thousand people here have come to see the show |
|
As 'round and 'round you go |
|
So ballerina, dance |
|
Dance |
