《At the Ballet》歌词

[00:00:00] At the Ballet (From "A Chorus Line") - Carole Bishop/Nancy Lane/Kay Cole

[00:00:05] 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

[00:00:28] 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

[00:00:41] Something you'd want to discuss

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

[00:00:46] Well not to her

[00:00:49] Well not to us

[00:00:53] But

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

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

[00:01:08] Yes

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

[00:01:15] Hey

[00:01:16] I was happy at the ballet

[00:01:22] That's why I started class

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

[00:01:28] To the voice like a metronome

[00:01:31] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:01:35] It wasn't paradise

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

[00:01:39] It wasn't paradise

[00:01:41] But it was home

[00:01:48] Mother always said I'd be very attractive

[00:01:51] When I grew up when I grew up

[00:01:53] Different she said with a special something

[00:01:55] And a very very personal flair

[00:01:59] And though I was eight or nine

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

[00:02:04] Though I was eight or nine

[00:02:07] I hated her

[00:02:10] Now

[00:02:11] Different is nice but it sure isn't pretty

[00:02:14] Pretty is what it's about

[00:02:16] I never met anyone who was different

[00:02:19] Who couldn't figure that out

[00:02:21] So beautiful I'd never lived to see

[00:02:27] But it was clear

[00:02:29] If not to her

[00:02:31] Well then to me

[00:02:35] That

[00:02:36] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

[00:02:44] Every prince has got to have his swan

[00:02:51] Yes

[00:02:51] Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

[00:02:57] Hey

[00:02:59] I was pretty

[00:03:01] At the ballet

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

[00:03:11] To the voice like a metronome

[00:03:15] Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[00:03:18] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:20] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:22] It wasn't paradise

[00:03:24] But it was home

[00:03:28] I don't know what they were for or against really

[00:03:30] Except each other

[00:03:31] I mean I was born to save their marriage

[00:03:34] But when my father came to pick my mother up

[00:03:35] At the hospital

[00:03:37] He said well I thought this was going to help

[00:03:39] But I guess it's not

[00:03:41] Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life

[00:03:44] I used to dance around the living room

[00:03:46] With my arms up like this

[00:03:49] My fantasy was that there was an Indian chief

[00:03:51] And he'd say to me

[00:03:52] Maggie do you wanna dance

[00:03:55] And I'd say daddy I would love to dance

[00:03:59] Doo doo doo doo

[00:04:00] But it was clear

[00:04:02] Doo doo doo

[00:04:02] When he proposed

[00:04:03] Doo doo doo

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

[00:04:08] Doo doo doo doo

[00:04:08] That's what he said

[00:04:10] Doo doo doo

[00:04:10] That's what she said

[00:04:11] Doo doo doo

[00:04:12] I used to dance around the living room

[00:04:16] Doo doo doo doo

[00:04:17] He wasn't warm

[00:04:18] Doo doo doo

[00:04:19] Not to her

[00:04:21] It was an Indian chief and he'd say

[00:04:24] Maggie do you wanna dance

[00:04:27] And I'd say daddy I would love to

[00:04:33] Everything was beautiful at the ballet

[00:04:40] Raise your arms and someone's always there

[00:04:48] Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet

[00:04:56] At the ballet

[00:05:00] At the ballet

[00:05:19] Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet

[00:05:26] Hey

[00:05:28] I was pretty

[00:05:30] I was happy

[00:05:32] I would love to

[00:05:36] At the ballet
