Danceballerinadance

And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart.

Danceballerinadance

You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part.

And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row.

This is your momentgirl

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 goneballerinagone

So on with your careeryou 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 ballerinadance

Dancedance!
