Dance, Ballerina, Dance lyrics

Artist  : Nat King Cole 
Song : Dance, Ballerina, Dance
 

(Bob Russell, Carl Sigman)

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!
