 Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Nat King Cole
 
 
 
 34404>(bob russell, carl sigman)
 
 
 
 Dance, ballerina, dance
 
 And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart.
 
 Dance, ballerina, dance
 
 You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part.
 
 
 
 Whirl, ballerina, whirl
 
 And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row.
 
 This is your moment, girl,
 
 Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show.
 
 
 
 Once you said his love must wait it's turn
 
 You wanted fame instead.
 
 I guess that's your concern,
 
 We live and learn.
 
 
 
 And love is gone, ballerina, gone
 
 So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance.
 
 Dance on and on and on
 
 A thousand people here have come to see the show
 
 As 'round and 'round you go
 
 So ballerina, dance
 
 Dance, dance!
 
 
 
 Whirl, ballerina!
 
 
 
 Once you said his love must wait it's turn,
 
 You wanted fame instead.
 
 I guess that's your concern,
 
 We live and learn.
 
 
 
 And love is gone, ballerina, gone
 
 So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
 
 Dance on and on and on
 
 A thousand people here have come to see the show
 
 As 'round and 'round you go
 
 So ballerina, dance!
 
 
 
 Dance!
