Dance, ballerina, dance<br />
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart<br />
Dance, ballerina, dance<br />
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part<br />
Whirl, ballerina, whirl<br />
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row<br />
This is your moment, girl<br />
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show<br />
Once you said his love must wait its turn<br />
You wanted fame instead<br />
I guess that's your concern<br />
We live and learn<br />
And love is gone, ballerina, gone<br />
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance<br />
Dance on and on and on<br />
A thousand people here have come to see the show<br />
As 'round and 'round you go<br />
So ballerina, dance<br />
Dance, dance!<br />
<br />
Once you said his love must wait its turn<br />
You wanted fame instead<br />
I guess that's your concern<br />
We live and learn<br />
And love is gone, ballerina, gone<br />
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance<br />
Dance on and on and on<br />
A thousand people here have come to see the show<br />
As 'round and 'round you go<br />
So ballerina, dance<br />
Dance!
