Margot Fonteyn you're a dancing Eleanor to and fro who would know you ever touched the floor Margot Fonteyn know for now and evermore you're looking great in tights and bows your palm contains the front ten rows you had the moves but no one knows that your legs were touched by the hands of God but your heart stands on its toes yeah, your heart stands on its toes Wheels of misfortune a retired nurse down south living on a memory living hand to husband's mouth when most call on a pension and act senile and mean you pirouette as Juliet and look like you're eighteen Chorus smallest things can cause a change like a bullet to the spine and who would know that wasn't planned you act like it's all fine should I need a private maid would you please be mine? roll me through your garden and push me from behind Chorus but this ain't how it happens for queens and cavaliers you know something we don't your ending's not down here Chorus
