[00:05.36] Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
[00:07.78] That's what he said that's what he said
[00:10.15] When he proposed he informed my mother
[00:12.78] He was probably her very last chance
[00:16.59] And though she was twenty-two
[00:19.22] Though she was twenty-two
[00:21.57] Though she was twenty-two
[00:25.18]
[00:26.84] She married him
[00:29.95]
[00:31.10] Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic
[00:33.50] More like a "Come as you are "
[00:36.04] When I was five I remember my mother
[00:38.47] Dug earrings out of the car
[00:41.05] I knew they weren't hers But it wasn't
[00:43.64] Something you'd want to discuss
[00:46.62] He wasn't warm
[00:48.17]
[00:49.92] Well not to her
[00:51.14]
[00:52.62] Well not to us
[00:54.45]
[00:57.71] But everything was beautiful at the ballet
[01:04.34]
[01:04.95] Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
[01:10.70]
[01:11.40] Yes everything was beautiful at ballet
[01:19.24] Hey
[01:19.51] I was happy at the ballet
[01:23.86]
[01:28.34] Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[01:31.93] To the voice like a metronome
[01:33.86]
[01:36.31] Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[01:39.10] It wasn't paradise
[01:40.96] It wasn't paradise
[01:42.71] It wasn't paradise
[01:45.35] But it was home
[01:48.40]
[01:49.62] Mother always said I'd be very attractive
[01:52.08] When I grew up when I grew up
[01:54.21] "Diff'rent " she said "With a special something
[01:56.94] And a very very personal flair "
[02:00.98] And though I was eight or nine
[02:02.85] Though I was eight or nine
[02:04.95] Though I was eight or nine
[02:07.98]
[02:09.69] I hated her
[02:12.85] Now "Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty
[02:16.27] "Pretty" is what it's about
[02:18.64] I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"
[02:21.10] Who couldn't figure that out
[02:23.54] So beautiful I'd never lived to see
[02:29.41]
[02:30.13] But it was clear
[02:32.52] If not to her
[02:35.31] Well then to me
[02:36.77]
[02:38.53] That everyone is beautiful at the ballet
[02:44.98]
[02:45.88] Every prince has got to have his swan
[02:51.03]
[02:51.82] Yes everyone is beautiful at the ballet
[02:58.15] Hey
[02:59.81] I was pretty
[03:02.30] At the ballet
[03:05.77]
[03:08.82] I mean I was born to save their marriage
[03:11.82] But when my father came to pick my mother up
[03:14.70] At the hospital
[03:15.88] He said "Well I thought this was going to help
[03:19.23] But I guess it's not "
[03:22.04]
[03:22.68] A few months later he left
[03:25.37] And he never came back
[03:26.83]
[03:27.69] Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life
[03:32.91] I used to dance around the living room
[03:34.78] With my arms up like this
[03:37.33] My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief
[03:42.25] And he'd say to me
[03:44.41] "Izzie do you wanna dance "
[03:47.82] And I'd say "Daddy I would love to dance "
[03:54.35] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[03:55.79] But it was clear
[03:56.80] Doo-doo-doo
[03:57.60] When he proposed
[03:58.58] Doo-doo-doo
[03:59.14] That I was born to help their marriage and when
[04:03.35] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:03.94] That's what he said
[04:04.86] Doo-doo-doo
[04:05.30] That's what she said
[04:06.21] Doo-doo-doo
[04:06.59] I used to dance around the living room
[04:09.94] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:10.88] He wasn't warm
[04:11.87] Doo-doo-doo
[04:12.12] Not to her
[04:13.55]
[04:14.78] It was an Indian chief and he'd say:
[04:17.98] "Izzie do you wanna dance "
[04:21.02] And I'd say "Daddy I would love to "
[04:25.98] Everything was beautiful at the ballet
[04:32.00]
[04:32.56] Raise your arms and someone's always there
[04:37.96]
[04:39.07] Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet
[04:44.80]
[04:45.53] At the ballet
[04:47.80]
[04:48.82] At the ballet
[04:59.48]
[05:05.18] Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet
[05:11.29]
[05:13.01] I was pretty
[05:15.43] I was happy
[05:17.72] "I would love to "
[05:20.49] At the ballet
