Ballerina
Buddy Clark
Music and Lyrics by Carl Sigman and Bob Russell
Also, recorded by The Nat King Cole Trio And Vaughn Monroe,both of which
were very big hits
Dance, ballerina, dance,
And do your pirouette
In rhythm with your aching heart
Dance, ballerina, dance,
You musnt once forget
A dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl,
And just ignore the chair
Thats empty in the second row
This is your moment, girl,
Although hes not out there
Applauding as you steal the show
Once you said
His love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead;
I guess thats your concern;
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone,
So on with your career;
You cant 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
