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 its 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 its 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
