[00:00.00]At the Ballet - Various Artists
[00:05.01]Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
[00:07.26]That's what he said that's what he said
[00:09.56]When he proposed he informed my mother
[00:11.63]He was probably her very last chance
[00:15.07]And though she was twenty-two
[00:16.92]Though she was twenty-two
[00:19.20]Though she was twenty-two
[00:21.97]She married him
[00:25.59]Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic
[00:27.71]More like a"Come as you are"
[00:30.10]When I was five I remember my mother
[00:32.64]Dug earrings out of the car
[00:34.73]I knew they weren't hers But it wasn't
[00:37.19]Something you'd want to discuss
[00:39.25]He wasn't warm
[00:42.58]Well not to her
[00:45.54]Well not to us
[00:49.43]But
[00:50.24]Everything was beautiful at the ballet
[00:57.72]Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
[01:04.43]Yes
[01:05.14]Everything was beautiful at ballet
[01:11.02]Hey
[01:12.40]I was happy at the ballet
[01:18.67]That's why I started class
[01:20.40]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[01:23.73]To the voice like a metronome
[01:27.11]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[01:30.53]It wasn't paradise
[01:32.43]It wasn't paradise
[01:33.97]It wasn't paradise
[01:35.98]But it was home
[01:42.72]Mother always said I'd be very attractive
[01:44.85]When I grew up when I grew up
[01:46.64]"Diff'rent" she said"With a special something
[01:49.45]And a very very personal flair"
[01:52.80]And though I was eight or nine
[01:55.10]Though I was eight or nine
[01:56.66]Though I was eight or nine
[01:59.96]I hated her
[02:02.78]Now
[02:03.40]"Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty
[02:05.67]"Pretty" is what it's about
[02:07.86]I never met anyone who was"diff'rent"
[02:10.31]Who couldn't figure that out
[02:12.42]So beautiful I'd never lived to see
[02:19.68]But it was clear
[02:22.36]If not to her
[02:25.20]Well then to me
[02:29.80]That
[02:30.51]Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

[02:51.01]Hey
[02:52.18]I was pretty
[02:55.03]At the ballet
[03:00.70]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[03:04.15]To the voice like a metronome
[03:07.60]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[03:10.94]It wasn't paradise
[03:12.89]It wasn't paradise
[03:14.28]It wasn't paradise
[03:16.23]But it was home
[03:21.14]I don't know what they were for or against really
[03:23.82]Except each other
[03:25.15]I mean I was born to save their marriage
[03:28.13]But when my father came to pick my mother up
[03:30.37]At the hospital
[03:31.37]He said"Well I thought this was going to help
[03:35.04]But I guess it's not"
[03:37.17]Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life
[03:40.56]I used to dance around the living room
[03:42.60]With my arms up like this
[03:44.30]My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief
[03:46.73]And he'd say to me
[03:47.45]"Maggie do you wanna dance"
[03:50.76]And I'd say"Daddy I would love to dance"
[03:54.54]Doo-doo-doo-doo
[03:58.02]But it was clear
[03:59.22]Doo-doo-doo
[03:59.53]When he proposed
[04:00.53]Doo-doo-doo
[04:00.70]That I was born to help their marriage and when
[04:04.69]Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:04.84]That's what he said
[04:06.14]Doo-doo-doo
[04:06.32]That's what she said
[04:07.52]Doo-doo-doo
[04:07.76]I used to dance around the living room
[04:11.45]Doo-doo-doo-doo
[04:11.57]He wasn't warm
[04:12.92]Doo-doo-doo
[04:13.06]Not to her
[04:14.89]It was an Indian chief and he'd say:
[04:19.18]"Maggie do you wanna dance"
[04:22.36]And I'd say"Daddy I would love to"
