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 cla** 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
