Ballerina Songtext
von Melanie

You didn′t grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance
Mama used to rock you with a concertina
To the tune of a rock'n′roll band
You were such a little lady
A pretty little baby
Had a look that could undo a full grown man

You didn't grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance

You never went further than that first tendu
But your smile sure made 'em rave
I bet you made your mom and daddy proud of you
When that float drove by and you waved
You were everybody′s dream
A cutie beauty queen
Destined for a life of romance

You didn′t grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance


Put on your tutu
Do a great song and dance
Oh yes you do do
Do a great song and dance

Oh you made good grades
In every class at school
It must have been your natural charm
When it was hot outside
You always could stay cool
With that boy in your eye
And the one in your arms
Never mind the arabesque
You do what you do best
Come on we're gonna give the girl a hand

You didn′t grow up to be a ballerina
But you do a great song and dance

Put on your tutu
Do a great song and dance
Oh yes you do do
Do a great song and dance
