And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin’ heart.

You mustn’t once forget a dancer has to dance the part.

And just ignore the chair that’s empty in the second row.
This is your momentgirl
Although he’s not out there applauding as you steal the show.
Once you said his love must wait it’s turn
You wanted fame instead.
I guess that’s your concern
We live and learn.
And love is goneballerinagone
So on with your careeryou can’t 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 ballerinadance
Dancedance!
Whirlballerina!
