Ballerina - Melanie

You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina

But you do a great song and dance

Mamma used to rock you with a concertina

To the tune of a rock 'n' roll band

You were such a little lady

A pretty little baby

Had the look that could undo a full grown man

You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina

But you do a great song and dance

You never went further than that first tondu

But your smile sure made 'em rave

I’ll bet you made your mom and daddy proud of you

When that float drove by and you waved

You were everybody’s dream

A cutie beauty queen

Destined for a life of romance

You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina

But you do a great song and dance

Put on your tutu

Do a great song and dance

Oh yeah you do do

Do a great song and dance

Well you made the grades in every class at school

It must’ve been your natural charm

When it was hot outside you always could stay cool

With that boy in your eye and the one in your arms

Never mind the arabesque

You do what you did best

Come on we’re gonna give the girl a hand

Ah, you didn’t grow up to be a ballerina

But you do a great song and dance

Put on your tutu

Do a great song and dance

Oh yeah you do do

Do a great song and dance
