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
