At the Ballet (From "A Chorus Line") - Musical Cast Recording (音乐剧)/Original Cast/The New Musical Cast

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him

That's what he said that's what he said

When he proposed he informed my mother

He was probably her very last chance

And though she was twenty two

Though she was twenty two

Though she was twenty two

She married him

Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic

More like a come as you are

When I was five I remember my mother

Dug earrings out of the car

I knew they weren't hers but it wasn't

Something you'd want to discuss

He wasn't warm

Well not to her

Well not to us

But

Everything was beautiful at the ballet

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white

Yes

Everything was beautiful at ballet

I was happy at the ballet

That's why I started class

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

It wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise

But it was home

Mother always said I'd be very attractive

When I grew up when I grew up

Different she said with a special something

And a very very personal flair

And though I was eight or nine

Though I was eight or nine

Though I was eight or nine

I hated her

Now

Different is nice but it sure isn't pretty

Pretty is what it's about

I never met anyone who was different

Who couldn't figure that out

So beautiful I'd never lived to see

But it was clear

If not to her

Well then to me

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

Every prince has got to have his swan

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet

I was pretty

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

To the voice like a metronome

Up a steep and very narrow stairway

It wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise

It wasn't paradise

But it was home

I don't know what they were for or against really

Except each other

I mean I was born to save their marriage

But when my father came to pick my mother up

At the hospital

He said well I thought this was going to help

But I guess it's not

Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life

I used to dance around the living room

With my arms up like this

My fantasy was that there was an indian chief

And he'd say to me

Maggie do you wanna dance

And I'd say daddy I would love to dance

Doo doo doo doo

But it was clear

Doo doo doo

When he proposed

Doo doo doo

That I was born to help their marriage and when

Doo doo doo doo

That's what he said

Doo doo doo

That's what she said

Doo doo doo

I used to dance around the living room

Doo doo doo doo

He wasn't warm

Doo doo doo

Not to her

It was an indian chief and he'd say

Maggie do you wanna dance

And I'd say daddy I would love to

Everything was beautiful at the ballet

Raise your arms and someone's always there

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet

At the ballet

At the ballet

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet

I was pretty

I was happy

I would love to

At the ballet
