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
Hey
I was happy at the ballet

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
"Diff'rent " 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 "Diff'rent" is nice but it sure isn't pretty
"Pretty" is what it's about
I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"
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

That everyone is beautiful at the ballet

Every prince has got to have his swan

Yes everyone is beautiful at the ballet
Hey
I was pretty
At the ballet

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 "

A few months later he left
And he never came back

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 I was an Indian Chief
And he'd say to me
"Izzie 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:
"Izzie 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
