At The Ballet - Deidre Goodwin/Alisan Porter/Mara Davi[00:00:00]

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[00:00:09]

He was probably her very last chance [00:00:11]

And though she was twenty-two [00:00:15]

Though she was twenty-two [00:00:17]

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

She married him [00:00:22]

Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic[00:00:25]

More like a "Come as you are"[00:00:27]

When I was five I remember my mother[00:00:30]

Dug earrings out of the car[00:00:32]

I knew they weren't hers But it wasn't[00:00:35]

Something you'd want to discuss [00:00:37]

He wasn't warm [00:00:39]

Well not to her [00:00:42]

Well not to us[00:00:46]

But[00:00:50]

Everything was beautiful at the ballet [00:00:51]

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white [00:00:58]

Yes [00:01:05]

Everything was beautiful at ballet [00:01:05]

Hey [00:01:11]

I was happy at the ballet [00:01:13]

That's why I started class[00:01:19]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway [00:01:20]

(SHEILA AND BEBE)[00:01:23]

To the voice like a metronome [00:01:24]

Up a steep and very narrow stairway [00:01:27]

(SHEILA)[00:01:29]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:30]

(BEBE)[00:01:31]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:32]

(SHEILA AND BEBE)[00:01:33]

It wasn't paradise[00:01:34]

(SHEILA)[00:01:35]

But it was home [00:01:35]

(BEBE)[00:01:38]

Mother always said I'd be very attractive[00:01:42]

When I grew up when I grew up [00:01:44]

"Diff'rent"she said""With a special something[00:01:47]

And a very very personal flair "[00:01:49]

And though I was eight or nine [00:01:52]

Though I was eight or nine [00:01:55]

Though I was eight or nine [00:01:56]

I hated her [00:02:00]

Now [00:02:02]

"Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty [00:02:03]

"Pretty" is what it's about [00:02:05]

I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"[00:02:08]

Who couldn't figure that out [00:02:10]

So beautiful I'd never lived to see [00:02:12]

But it was clear [00:02:19]

If not to her [00:02:22]

Well then to me[00:02:25]

That[00:02:29]

(MAGGIE AND BEBE)[00:02:30]

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet [00:02:30]

Every prince has got to have his swan [00:02:37]

Yes [00:02:44]

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet [00:02:45]

(MAGGIE)[00:02:51]

Hey [00:02:52]

(BEBE)[00:02:53]

I was pretty[00:02:53]

(SHEILA)[00:02:57]

At the ballet[00:02:57]

(MAGGIE SHEILA AND BEBE)[00:02:58]

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

To the voice like a metronome [00:03:04]

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

(MAGGIE)[00:03:10]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:11]

(BEBE)[00:03:12]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:13]

(SHEILA)[00:03:14]

It wasn't paradise[00:03:14]

(MAGGIE SHEILA AND BEBE)[00:03:15]

But it was home [00:03:16]

(MAGGIE (Spoken))[00:03:19]

I don't know what they were for or against really [00:03:21]

Except each other [00:03:23]

I mean I was born to save their marriage[00:03:25]

But when my father came to pick my mother up[00:03:28]

At the hospital[00:03:30]

He said Well I thought this was going to help [00:03:31]

But I guess it's not[00:03:35]

Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life [00:03:37]

I used to dance around the living room[00:03:40]

With my arms up like this[00:03:42]

My fantasy was that there was an Indian Chief[00:03:44]

And he'd say to me [00:03:46]

"Maggie do you wanna dance "[00:03:47]

And I'd say "Daddy I would love to dance "[00:03:50]

(SHEILA AND MAGGIE)[00:03:53]

Doo-doo-doo-doo[00:03:55]

(BEBE)[00:03:55]

But it was clear[00:03:57]

(BEBE AND MAGGIE)[00:03:58]

Doo-doo-doo[00:03:59]

(SHEILA)[00:03:59]

When he proposed[00:03:59]

(SHEILA AND BEBE)[00:04:00]

Doo-doo-doo[00:04:01]

(MAGGIE)[00:04:01]

That I was born to help their marriage and when[00:04:01]

(MAGGIE AND BEBE)[00:04:03]

Doo-doo-doo-doo[00:04:04]

(SHEILA)[00:04:04]

That's what he said[00:04:05]

(SHEILA AND MAGGIE)[00:04:06]

Doo-doo-doo[00:04:06]

(BEBE)[00:04:07]

That's what she said[00:04:07]

(BEBE AND SHEILA)[00:04:07]

Doo-doo-doo[00:04:08]

(MAGGIE)[00:04:08]

I used to dance around the living room [00:04:09]

(BEBE AND SHEILA)[00:04:11]

Doo-doo-doo-doo[00:04:12]

(SHEILA)[00:04:12]

He wasn't warm[00:04:12]

(SHEILA AND MAGGIE)[00:04:13]

Doo-doo-doo[00:04:14]

(BEBE)[00:04:14]

Not to her[00:04:14]

(MAGGIE)[00:04:15]

It was an Indian chief and he'd say:[00:04:15]

"Maggie do you wanna dance "[00:04:19]

And I'd say "Daddy I would love to"[00:04:22]

Everything was beautiful at the ballet [00:04:27]

Raise your arms and someone's always there [00:04:35]

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet [00:04:42]

At the ballet [00:04:50]

At the ballet [00:04:53]
