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!
<instrumental interlude>
Whirl ballerina
<instrumental interlude>
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
