At the Ballet - Carole Bishop/Nancy Lane/Kay Cole[00:00:00]

Written by：Edward Kleban/Marvin Hamlisch[00:00:00]

Producer：Goddard Lieberson[00:00:02]

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him[00:00:05]

That's what he said that's what he said[00:00:07]

When he proposed he informed my mother[00:00:10]

He was probably her very last chance[00:00:12]

And though she was twenty two[00:00:16]

Though she was twenty two[00:00:19]

Though she was twenty two[00:00:21]

She married him[00:00:24]

Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic[00:00:28]

More like a come as you are[00:00:31]

When I was five I remember my mother[00:00:33]

Dug earrings out of the car[00:00:36]

I knew they weren't hers but it wasn't[00:00:39]

Something you'd want to discuss[00:00:41]

He wasn't warm[00:00:44]

Well not to her[00:00:46]

Well not to us[00:00:49]

But[00:00:53]

Everything was beautiful at the ballet[00:00:53]

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white[00:01:01]

Yes[00:01:08]

Everything was beautiful at ballet[00:01:08]

Hey[00:01:14]

I was happy at the ballet[00:01:16]

That's why I started class[00:01:21]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway[00:01:24]

To the voice like a metronome[00:01:27]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway[00:01:31]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:35]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:37]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:38]

But it was home[00:01:41]

Mother always said I'd be very attractive[00:01:48]

When I grew up when I grew up[00:01:50]

Different she said with a special something[00:01:53]

And a very very personal flair[00:01:55]

And though I was eight or nine[00:01:59]

Though I was eight or nine[00:02:01]

Though I was eight or nine[00:02:03]

I hated her[00:02:07]

Now[00:02:10]

Different is nice but it sure isn't pretty[00:02:11]

Pretty is what it's about[00:02:13]

I never met anyone who was different[00:02:16]

Who couldn't figure that out[00:02:19]

So beautiful I'd never lived to see[00:02:21]

But it was clear[00:02:27]

If not to her[00:02:29]

Well then to me[00:02:31]

That[00:02:35]

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet[00:02:36]

Every prince has got to have his swan[00:02:43]

Yes[00:02:51]

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet[00:02:51]

Hey[00:02:57]

I was pretty[00:02:59]

At the ballet[00:03:01]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway[00:03:07]

To the voice like a metronome[00:03:10]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway[00:03:14]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:18]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:20]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:22]

But it was home[00:03:24]

I don't know what they were for or against really[00:03:27]

Except each other[00:03:30]

I mean I was born to save their marriage[00:03:31]

But when my father came to pick my mother up[00:03:33]

At the hospital[00:03:35]

He said well I thought this was going to help[00:03:36]

But I guess it's not[00:03:39]

Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life[00:03:41]

I used to dance around the living room[00:03:44]

With my arms up like this[00:03:46]

My fantasy was that there was an Indian chief[00:03:48]

And he'd say to me[00:03:51]

Maggie do you wanna dance[00:03:52]

And I'd say daddy I would love to dance[00:03:55]

Doo doo doo doo[00:03:58]

But it was clear[00:04:00]

Doo doo doo[00:04:01]

When he proposed[00:04:02]

Doo doo doo[00:04:03]

That I was born to help their marriage and when[00:04:04]

Doo doo doo doo[00:04:08]

That's what he said[00:04:08]

Doo doo doo[00:04:09]

That's what she said[00:04:10]

Doo doo doo[00:04:11]

I used to dance around the living room[00:04:12]

Doo doo doo doo[00:04:15]

He wasn't warm[00:04:16]

Doo doo doo[00:04:18]

Not to her[00:04:18]

It was an Indian chief and he'd say[00:04:20]

Maggie do you wanna dance[00:04:24]

And I'd say daddy I would love to[00:04:27]

Everything was beautiful at the ballet[00:04:33]

Raise your arms and someone's always there[00:04:40]

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet[00:04:48]

At the ballet[00:04:55]

At the ballet[00:04:59]

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet[00:05:19]

Hey[00:05:25]

I was pretty[00:05:27]

I was happy[00:05:30]

I would love to[00:05:32]

At the ballet[00:05:36]
