4       5 6 7 7   -6    
Dance, ballerina, dance, 

 4  5   6   7 -8 -7
and do your pirouette

6   -6-5   6  5   -5  6    -4  
In rhythm to your breaking heart.

 -4    -5-6 -8-8    -7     
Dance, ballaerina, dance.  

-4   -5 -6   -8   8 -8
You mustn't once forget

-6 7 -6   -7  6  -6   -7   5
A dancer has to dance the part.

Whirl, ballerina, whirl, 
and just ignore the chair
That's vacant 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 its turn,

7   -7 -6    6  -5 -6
You wanted fame instead.

-5  6    -6     7    -7 -8   -6  7   -6   -7
I guess that's your concern, we live and learn,

6    -5  -4  4
And love is gone--

 4     5 6  7 7   -6    4   5     6  -8 -7
Gone, ballerina, gone.  So with your career

 6   -6  -5  6   5 -5  6     -4
You can't afford a backward glance.

 -4  -5   -6 -8 -8  -7 -4  -5 -6   -8 8    8
Dance on and on and on--a thousand people here
