Dance, ballerina, dance
9
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
10
Dance, ballerina, dance
11
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
12
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
13
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
14
This is your moment, girl
15
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
16
Once you said his love must wait it's turn
17
You wanted fame instead
18
I guess that's your concern
19
We live and learn
20
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
21
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
22
Dance on and on and on
23
A thousand people here have come to see the show
24
As 'round and 'round you go
25
So ballerina, dance
26
Dance, dance!
27
Whirl ballerina
28
Once you said his love must wait it's turn
29
You wanted fame instead
30
I guess that's your concern
31
We live and learn
32
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
33
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
34
Dance on and on and on
35
A thousand people here have come to see the show
36
As 'round and 'round you go
37
So ballerina, dance
38
Dance
