Ballerina

Ballerina - Jimmy Dorsey

Dance ballerina dance

And do your pirouette in rhythm

With your aching heart

Dance ballerina dance

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

Whirl ballerina whirl

And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row

This is your moment girl

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 gone ballerina gone

So on with your career

You can't afford a backward glance

Dance on and on and on

A thousand people here have come to see the show

As around and around you go

So ballerina dance

Dance dance
