[00:05.39] Daddy always thought that he married beneath him.
[00:07.77] That's what he said, that's what he said.
[00:10.32] When he proposed he informed my mother
[00:13.01] He was probably her very last chance.
[00:16.42] And though she was twenty-two,
[00:19.04] Though she was twenty-two,
[00:21.53] Though she was twenty-two,
[00:26.78] She married him.
[00:31.08] Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic
[00:33.39] More like a "Come as you are."
[00:35.95] When I was five I remember my mother
[00:38.57] Dug earrings out of the car
[00:41.06] I knew they weren't hers, But it wasn't
[00:43.73] Something you'd want to discuss.
[00:46.60] He wasn't warm.
[00:49.97] Well, not to her.
[00:53.09] Well, not to us
[00:57.71] But
[00:58.02] Everything was beautiful at the ballet.
[01:05.01] Graceful men lift lovely girls in white.
[01:11.38] Yes,
[01:11.81] Everything was beautiful at ballet.
[01:17.55] Hey!
[01:19.24] I was happy... at the ballet.
[01:26.00] That's why I started ballet class...
[01:28.31] Up a steep and very narrow stairway.
[01:31.93] To the voice like a metronome.
[01:35.67] Up a steep and very narrow stairway.
[01:39.42] It wasn't paradise...
[01:41.23] It wasn't paradise...
[01:43.04] It wasn't paradise...
[01:45.47] But it was home.
[01:49.59] Mother always said I'd be very attractive
[01:52.09] When I grew up, when I grew up.
[01:54.64] "Diff'rent," she said, "With a special something
[01:56.99] And a very, very personal flair."
[02:01.04] And though I was eight or nine,
[02:03.16] Though I was eight or nine,
[02:05.35] Though I was eight or nine,
[02:09.78] I hated her.
[02:13.83] Now,
[02:14.14] "Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty.
[02:16.65] "Pretty" is what it's about.
[02:18.95] I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"
[02:21.38] Who couldn't figure that out.
[02:23.63] So beautiful I'd never lived to see.
[02:30.23] But it was clear,
[02:32.60] If not to her,
[02:35.47] Well, then... to me...
[02:36.16]
[02:38.42] That ...
[02:39.55] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.
[02:46.04] Every prince has got to have his swan.
[02:52.22] Yes,
[02:52.71] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.
[02:58.15] Hey!...
[02:59.77] I was pretty...
[03:02.30] At the ballet
[03:08.29]
[03:08.81] I was born to save their marriage
[03:11.31]
[03:11.90] but when my father came to pick my mother up
[03:14.64] at the hospital
[03:15.89] he said, "Well, I thought this was going to help.
[03:18.84] but I guess not..."
[03:19.65]
[03:22.67] A few months later,he left,and never came back
[03:28.37] Anyway, I had this fantastic fantasy life.
[03:32.99] I used to dance around the living room
[03:34.86] with my arms up like this
[03:37.42] My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief...
[03:42.10] And he'd say to me,
[03:44.47] "Maggie, do you wanna dance?"
[03:47.85] And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!"
[03:54.40] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[03:55.78] But it was clear...
[03:56.96] Doo-doo-doo
[03:57.64] When he proposed...
[03:58.58] Doo-doo-doo
[03:59.71] That I was born to help their marriage and when
[04:03.51] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:04.01] That's what he said...
[04:05.01] Doo-doo-doo
[04:05.38] That's what she said...
[04:06.50] Doo-doo-doo
[04:06.70] I used to dance around the living room...
[04:09.94] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:10.87] He wasn't warm...
[04:12.18] Doo-doo-doo
[04:12.74] Not to her...
[04:13.93]
[04:14.94] It was an Indian chief and he'd say:
[04:17.83] "Maggie, do you wanna dance?"
[04:21.14] And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..."
[04:26.00] Everything was beautiful at the ballet,
[04:32.68] Raise your arms and someone's always there.
[04:39.17] Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet,
[04:45.54] At the ballet,
[04:48.97] At the ballet!!!
[05:00.77]
[05:05.14] Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet.
[05:11.69] HEY!...
[05:13.06] I was pretty...
[05:15.37] I was happy...
[05:17.61] "I would love to..."
[05:20.50] At...the...ballet.
