Lyrics At the Ballet

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him

That's what he said

When he proposed he informed my mother he was probably her very last chance

And though she was twenty-two

Though she was twenty-two

Though she was twenty-two she married him

Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic

More like a Come as you are

When I was five

I remember my mother dug earrings out of the car

I knew that they weren't hers but it wasn't something you'd wanna discuss

He wasn't warm

Well not to her

Well not to us

But everything was beautiful at the ballet

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet hey

I was happy at the ballet

That's when I started class

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

It wasn't paradise

Wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise but it was home

Mother always said

I'd be very attractive when I grew up

When I grew up

Different she said

With a special something and a very, very personal flair

And though I was eight or nine

Though I was eight or nine

I hated her

Now different is nice but it sure isn't pretty

Pretty is what it's about

I never met anyone who was different who couldn't figure that out

So beautiful

I'd never live to see

But it was clear if not to her ha ha well then to me

That everyone is beautiful at the ballet

Every prince has got to have his swan

Yes everyone is beautiful at the ballet

Hey

I was pretty

At the ballet

Up a steep and very narrow

Up a steep and very narrow stairway stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow

Up a steep and very narrow stairway stairway

It wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise but it was home but it was home

I don't know what they were for or against really except each other

I mean I was born to save their marriage but when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital huh

He said Well I thought this was going to help but I guess it's not

Anyway

I did have a fantastic fantasy life

I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this

My fantasy was that it was an Indian Chief and he'd say to me Maggie

Do you wanna dance and I'd say Daddy

I would love to dance

Dooh dooh dooh dooh

But it was clear

Dooh dooh dooh

When he proposed

That I was born to help their marriage and when

That's what he said

Dooh dooh dooh

That's what he said

Dooh dooh

Ooh I used to dance around the living room

Dooh dooh dooh

He wasn't warm

Not to her

Hoo it was an Indian chief

Dooh dooh dooh and he said Maggie do you wanna dance

And I said Daddy

I would love to

Everything was beautiful at the ballet

Raise your arms and someone's always there

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet

At the ballet

Yes everything was beautiful

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet hey at the ballet

I was pretty

I was happy

I would love to

At the ballet
