Dance, ballerina, dance
8
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
9
Dance, ballerina, dance
10
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
11
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
12
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
13
This is your moment, girl
14
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
15
Once you said his love must wait it's turn
16
You wanted fame instead
17
I guess that's your concern
18
We live and learn
19
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
20
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
21
Dance on and on and on
22
A thousand people here have come to see the show
23
As 'round and 'round you go
24
So ballerina, dance
25
Dance, dance!
26
Whirl ballerina
27
Once you said his love must wait it's turn
28
You wanted fame instead
29
I guess that's your concern
30
We live and learn
31
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
32
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
33
Dance on and on and on
34
A thousand people here have come to see the show
35
As 'round and 'round you go
36
So ballerina, dance
