[01:15.95]Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
[01:18.23]That's what he said that's what he said
[01:20.28]
[01:21.02]When he proposed he informed my mother
[01:23.25]He was probably her very last chance
[01:27.33]And though she was twenty-two
[01:29.48]Though she was twenty-two
[01:30.80]
[01:31.47]Though she was twenty-two
[01:33.97]
[01:34.96]She married him
[01:37.80]
[01:39.22]Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic
[01:41.70]More like a come as you are
[01:43.28]
[01:44.35]When I was five I remember my mother
[01:46.85]Dug earrings out of the car
[01:48.74]
[01:49.70]I knew they weren't hers but it wasn't
[01:51.96]Something you'd want to discuss
[01:53.90]
[01:54.81]He wasn't warm
[01:56.27]
[01:57.27]Well not to her
[01:58.07]
[01:59.36]Well not to us
[02:00.47]
[02:04.07]But
[02:04.60]Everything was beautiful at the ballet
[02:11.53]Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
[02:18.62]Yes
[02:19.20]Everything was beautiful at ballet
[02:25.70]
[02:26.37]Hey
[02:26.75]I was happy at the ballet
[02:32.26]That's when I started class
[02:33.43]
[02:34.39]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[02:37.64]
[02:38.19]To the voice like a metronome
[02:42.04]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[02:45.86]It wasn't paradise
[02:48.02]It wasn't paradise
[02:49.50]It wasn't paradise
[02:51.06]
[02:51.68]But it was home
[02:54.68]
[03:13.00]Mother always said I'd be very attractive
[03:15.39]When I grew up when I grew up
[03:17.14]
[03:17.84]Different she said with a special something
[03:20.19]And a very very personal flair
[03:24.31]And though I was eight or nine
[03:26.00]
[03:26.60]Though I was eight or nine
[03:28.07]
[03:28.58]Though I was eight or nine
[03:30.39]
[03:31.81]I hated her
[03:33.50]
[03:35.64]Now
[03:35.98]Diff'rent is nice but it sure isn't pretty
[03:37.86]
[03:38.48]Pretty is what it's about
[03:40.13]
[03:40.97]I never met anyone who was diff'rent
[03:43.32]Who couldn't figure that out
[03:45.02]
[03:46.08]So beautiful I'd never lived to see
[03:50.65]
[03:51.51]But it was clear
[03:52.81]
[03:53.98]If not to her
[03:54.79]
[03:55.95]Well then to me
[03:56.89]
[04:00.37]That everyone is beautiful at the ballet
[04:07.93]
[04:08.69]Every prince has got to have his swan
[04:14.83]
[04:15.78]Yes
[04:16.47]Everyone is beautiful at the ballet
[04:23.31]
[04:24.18]I was pretty
[04:25.48]
[04:26.31]At the ballet
[04:31.04]
[04:31.95]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[04:35.73]To the voice like a metronome
[04:39.73]Up a steep and very narrow stairway
[04:43.39]It wasn't paradise
[04:45.40]It wasn't paradise
[04:47.07]It wasn't paradise
[04:48.66]
[04:49.22]But it was home
[04:52.42]
[04:59.42]I don't know what they were for or against really except each other
[05:02.47]
[05:03.19]I mean I was born to save their marriage
[05:05.10]But when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital he said
[05:08.77]Well I thought this was going to help
[05:11.39]But I guess it's not
[05:13.10]
[05:14.05]Anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life
[05:17.67]I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this
[05:20.20]
[05:20.97]My fantasy was that it was an Indian Chief and he'd say to me
[05:24.99]Maggie do you wanna dance
[05:26.46]
[05:27.27]And I'd say daddy I would love to dance
[05:29.79]
[05:31.57]But it was clear
[05:32.53]
[05:33.34]When he proposed
[05:34.20]
[05:35.51]That I was born to help their marriage and when
[05:39.06]
[05:39.57]That's what he said
[05:40.84]
[05:41.42]That's what she said
[05:42.86]I used to dance around the living room
[05:45.91]
[05:47.70]He wasn't warm
[05:48.99]
[05:49.76]Not to her
[05:50.78]
[05:51.87]It was an Indian Chief and he'd say
[05:54.98]Maggie do you wanna dance
[05:58.06]And I said daddy I would love to
[06:03.29]
[06:03.89]Everything was beautiful at the ballet
[06:10.47]
[06:11.09]Raise your arms and someone's always there
[06:18.92]Everything was beautiful at the ballet
[06:26.75]At the ballet
[06:30.42]At the ballet
[06:35.80]
[06:50.20]Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet
[06:58.01]

[06:59.66]
[07:00.29]I was happy
[07:02.43]

[07:06.90]At the ballet
