Ballerina

Buddy Clark

Music and Lyrics by Carl Sigman and Bob Russell



Also, recorded by The Nat King Cole Trio And Vaughn Monroe,both of which

were very big hits.



Dance, ballerina, dance,

And do your pirouette

In rhythm with your aching heart.

Dance, ballerina, dance,

You musnt once forget

A dancer has to dance the part.

Whirl, ballerina, whirl,

And just ignore the chair

Thats empty in the second row.

This is your moment, girl,

Although hes not out there

Applauding as you steal the show.

Once you said

His love must wait its turn.

You wanted fame instead;

I guess thats your concern;

We live and learn.

And love is gone, ballerina, gone,

So on with your career;

You cant 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 ballerina dance, dance ,dance.
