Lyrics:
AT THE BALLET (A Chorus Line)

[S:] 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 the ballet
Hey!
I was happy
At the ballet

That's when I started class...

[S+B:] Up a steep & very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metronome.
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

[S:] It wasn't paradise...

[B:] It wasn't paradise...

[S+B:] It wasn't paradise...


[S:] But it was home.

[B:] 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 ...

[M+B:] Everyone is beautiful
At the ballet.
Every prince
Has got to have his swan.
Yes
Everyone is beautiful
At the ballet.

[M:] Hey!...

[B:] I was pretty...

[S:] At the ballet

[M+S+B:] Up a steep
And very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metronome.
Up a steep and very narrow stairway

[M:] It wasn't paradise...

[B:] It wasn't paradise...

[S:] It wasn't paradise...


[M+S+B:] But it was home.

[M:] "I don't know what they were
For or against really, except each other
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"
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
"Maggie, do you wanna dance?"
And I'd say
"Daddy, I would love to dance!"


[S+M:] Doo-doo-doo-doo

[B:] But it was clear...
[B+M:] Doo-doo-doo
[S:] When he proposed...
[S+B:] Doo-doo-doo
[M:] That I was born to help
Their marriage and when
[M+B:] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[S:] That's what he said...
[S+M:] Doo-doo-doo
[B:] That's what she said...
[B+S:] Doo-doo-doo
[M:] I used to dance around
The living room
[B+S:] Doo-doo-doo-doo
[S:] He wasn't warm...
[S+M:] Doo-doo-doo
[B:] Not to her...
[M:] It was an Indian chief and he'd say
"Maggie, do you wanna dance?"
And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..."

Everything was beautiful at the ballet
Raise your arms & someones always there
Yes, everything
Was beautiful at the ballet
At the ballet...
At the ballet......

[M+S+B:] Yes everything
Was beautiful at the ballet.

[M:] HEY!...

[B:] I was pretty...

[S:] I was happy...

[M:] "I would love to..."

[M+S+B:] At...the...ballet.
