《At the Ballet》歌词

[00:00:00] At The Ballet - Deidre Goodwin/Alisan Porter/Mara Davi

[00:00:05] Daddy always thought that he married beneath him

[00:00:07] That's what he said that's what he said

[00:00:09] When he proposed he informed my mother

[00:00:11] He was probably her very last chance

[00:00:15] And though she was twenty-two

[00:00:17] Though she was twenty-two

[00:00:19] Though she was twenty-two

[00:00:22] She married him

[00:00:25] Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic

[00:00:27] More like a "Come as you are"

[00:00:30] When I was five I remember my mother

[00:00:32] Dug earrings out of the car

[00:00:35] I knew they weren't hers But it wasn't

[00:00:37] Something you'd want to discuss

[00:00:39] He wasn't warm

[00:00:42] Well not to her

[00:00:46] Well not to us

[00:00:50] But

[00:00:51] Everything was beautiful at the ballet

[00:00:58] Graceful men lift lovely girls in white

[00:01:05] Yes

[00:01:05] Everything was beautiful at ballet

[00:01:11] Hey

[00:01:13] I was happy at the ballet

[00:01:19] That's why I started class

[00:01:20] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:01:23] (SHEILA AND BEBE)

[00:01:24] To the voice like a metronome

[00:01:27] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:01:29] (SHEILA)

[00:01:30] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:31] (BEBE)

[00:01:32] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:33] (SHEILA AND BEBE)

[00:01:34] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:35] (SHEILA)

[00:01:35] But it was home

[00:01:38] (BEBE)

[00:01:42] Mother always said I'd be very attractive

[00:01:44] When I grew up when I grew up

[00:01:47] "Diff'rent"she said""With a special something

[00:01:49] And a very very personal flair "

[00:01:52] And though I was eight or nine

[00:01:55] Though I was eight or nine

[00:01:56] Though I was eight or nine

[00:02:00] I hated her

[00:02:02] Now

[00:02:03] "Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty

[00:02:05] "Pretty" is what it's about

[00:02:08] I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"

[00:02:10] Who couldn't figure that out

[00:02:12] So beautiful I'd never lived to see

[00:02:19] But it was clear

[00:02:22] If not to her

[00:02:25] Well then to me

[00:02:29] That

[00:02:30] (MAGGIE AND BEBE)

[00:02:30] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

[00:02:37] Every prince has got to have his swan

[00:02:44] Yes

[00:02:45] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

[00:02:51] (MAGGIE)

[00:02:52] Hey

[00:02:53] (BEBE)

[00:02:57] (SHEILA)

[00:02:57] At the ballet

[00:02:58] (MAGGIE SHEILA AND BEBE)

[00:03:00] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:03:04] To the voice like a metronome

[00:03:07] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:03:10] (MAGGIE)

[00:03:11] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:12] (BEBE)

[00:03:13] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:14] (SHEILA)

[00:03:14] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:15] (MAGGIE SHEILA AND BEBE)

[00:03:16] But it was home

[00:03:19] (MAGGIE (Spoken))

[00:03:21] I don't know what they were for or against really

[00:03:23] Except each other

[00:03:25] I mean I was born to save their marriage

[00:03:28] But when my father came to pick my mother up

[00:03:30] At the hospital

[00:03:31] He said Well I thought this was going to help

[00:03:35] But I guess it's not

[00:03:37] Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life

[00:03:40] I used to dance around the living room

[00:03:42] With my arms up like this

[00:03:44] My fantasy was that there was an Indian Chief

[00:03:46] And he'd say to me

[00:03:47] "Maggie do you wanna dance "

[00:03:50] And I'd say "Daddy I would love to dance "

[00:03:53] (SHEILA AND MAGGIE)

[00:03:55] Doo-doo-doo-doo

[00:03:55] (BEBE)

[00:03:57] But it was clear

[00:03:58] (BEBE AND MAGGIE)

[00:03:59] Doo-doo-doo

[00:03:59] (SHEILA)

[00:03:59] When he proposed

[00:04:00] (SHEILA AND BEBE)

[00:04:01] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:01] (MAGGIE)

[00:04:01] That I was born to help their marriage and when

[00:04:06] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:07] (BEBE)

[00:04:07] That's what she said

[00:04:07] (BEBE AND SHEILA)

[00:04:08] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:08] (MAGGIE)

[00:04:09] I used to dance around the living room

[00:04:11] (BEBE AND SHEILA)

[00:04:12] Doo-doo-doo-doo

[00:04:12] (SHEILA)

[00:04:12] He wasn't warm

[00:04:14] (BEBE)

[00:04:14] Not to her

[00:04:19] "Maggie do you wanna dance "

[00:04:22] And I'd say "Daddy I would love to"
