How many people does he need?
God I hope I get it

Spoken: Alright lets do the ballet combination

How could I do a thing like that?
How could I do a thing like
Now I'll never make it~

He doesn't like the way I look
He doesn't like the way I dance
He doesn't like the way I...

Who am I anyway?
Am I my resume?
That is a picture of a person I don't know
What does he want from me?
What should I try to be?
So many faces all around
And here we go
I need this job
Oh God , I need , this show!
I CAN DO THAT
I'm watching sis go pita pat
Thinkin' I can do that
I can do that!
Knew every step right off the bat
Said I can do that
I can do that!
One mornin' sis won't go to dance class
So I grabbed her shoes and tights and all
But my foot's too small
So, I stuffed the shoes with extra socks
Run seven blocks
In nothing flat
Hey I can do that ,
I can do that!
I got to class and had it made
And so I stayed the rest of my life
All thanks to sis
Now married and fat
Hell I can so this
That I can do !
I can so that!!
AT THE BALLET
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 outta the car
I knew that they weren't hers but it
Wasn't something you wanna disscuss
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
I was happy at the ballet
Spoken: That's when I started ballet classes
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metrenome
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
It wasn't paradiase
It wasn't paradiase
It wasn't paradiase
But it was home
Mother always said I'd be very attractive
When I grew up
When I grew up
Different she said
With a special something
And a very very personal flare
And though I was eight or nine
Though I was eight or nine
Though I was eight or nine
I hated her
Now different is nice
But it sure isn't pretty
And pretty is what it's about
I never met anyone who was 'different'
Who couldn't figure that out
So beautiful, I'd never live to see
But it was clear
If not to her , well then to me
That everyone was beautiful at the ballet
Every prince has got to have it's swan
Yes everyone was beautiful at the ballet
I was pretty
At the ballet
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metrenome
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
It wasn't paradiase
It wasn't paradiase
It wasn't paradiase
But it was home
Spoken: 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 and me up from the hospital
He said "Well I thought this was going to help
but I guess it's not."
A few months later he left
He never came back
But anyway I did have a fantastic fantasy life
I used to dance around the living room with my
arms up like this
And in my fantasy there was this indian chief
And he'd say to me Maggie do you want to dance?
And I'd say Daddy I would love to dance.
But it was clear
When he proposed
That I was born to help their marriage and then
That's what he said
That's what you said
I used to dance around the living room
He wasn't warm
Not to her
It was an indian chief and he'd say:
Maggie do you wanna dance?
And I'd say Daddy I would love to
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet!
Raise your arms and someone's always there!
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet!
I was pretty
I was happy
I would love to
At the ballet...
