《At the Ballet》歌词

[00:00:00] At the Ballet - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:06] Daddy always thought that he married beneath him.

[00:00:08] That's what he said, that's what he said.

[00:00:10] When he proposed he informed my mother

[00:00:13] He was probably her very last chance.

[00:00:17] And though she was twenty-two,

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

[00:00:21] Though she was twenty-two,

[00:00:25] She married him.

[00:00:29] Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic

[00:00:31] More like a "Come as you are"

[00:00:34] When I was five I remember my mother

[00:00:36] Dug earrings out of the car

[00:00:39] I knew they weren't hers, But it wasn't

[00:00:42] Something you'd want to discuss.

[00:00:44] He wasn't warm.

[00:00:47] Well, not to her.

[00:00:48] Well, not to us

[00:00:54] But

[00:00:54] Everything was beautiful at the ballet.

[00:01:02] Graceful men lift lovely girls in white.

[00:01:08] Yes,

[00:01:09] Everything was beautiful at ballet.

[00:01:16] Hey!

[00:01:17] I was happy. at the ballet.

[00:01:23] That's why I started class

[00:01:24] Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

[00:01:26] To the voice like a metronome.

[00:01:33] Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

[00:01:37] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:38] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:40] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:42] But it was home.

[00:01:50] Mother always said I'd be very attractive

[00:01:52] When I grew up, when I grew up.

[00:01:54] "Diff'rent"she said""With a special something

[00:01:57] And a very, very personal flair."

[00:02:01] And though I was eight or nine,

[00:02:03] Though I was eight or nine,

[00:02:05] Though I was eight or nine,

[00:02:09] I hated her.

[00:02:13] Now,

[00:02:13] "Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty.

[00:02:15] "Pretty" is what it's about.

[00:02:17] I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"

[00:02:20] Who couldn't figure that out.

[00:02:23] So beautiful I'd never lived to see.

[00:02:29] But it was clear,

[00:02:33] If not to her,

[00:02:35] Well, then to me

[00:02:40] That

[00:02:41] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.

[00:02:48] Every prince has got to have his swan.

[00:02:56] Yes,

[00:02:56] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.

[00:03:02] Hey!

[00:03:02] I was pretty

[00:03:06] At the ballet

[00:03:12] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:03:15] To the voice like a metronome.

[00:03:19] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:03:23] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:26] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:27] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:29] But it was home.

[00:03:35] I don't know what they were for or against, really,

[00:03:37] Except each other.

[00:03:39] I mean I was born to save their marriage

[00:03:41] But when my father came to pick my mother up

[00:03:44] At the hospital

[00:03:44] He said, Well, I thought this was going to help.

[00:03:48] But I guess it's not

[00:03:49] Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life.

[00:03:54] I used to dance around the living room

[00:03:55] With my arms up like this

[00:03:58] My fantasy was that there was an Indian Chief

[00:04:00] And he'd say to me,

[00:04:01] "Maggie, do you wanna dance?"

[00:04:02] And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!"

[00:04:07] Doo-doo-doo-doo

[00:04:07] But it was clear

[00:04:09] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:09] When he proposed

[00:04:10] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:11] That I was born to help their marriage and when

[00:04:14] That's what he said

[00:04:16] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:16] That's what she said

[00:04:17] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:17] I used to dance around the living room.

[00:04:22] Doo-doo-doo-doo

[00:04:22] He wasn't warm

[00:04:24] Doo-doo-doo

[00:04:25] Not to her

[00:04:27] It was an Indian chief and he'd say:

[00:04:30] "Maggie, do you wanna dance?"

[00:04:34] And I'd say,"Daddy, I would love to"

[00:04:38] Everything was beautiful at the ballet,

[00:04:46] Raise your arms and someone's always there.

[00:04:54] Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet,

[00:05:02] At the ballet,
