| [00:05.39] |
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him. |
| [00:07.77] |
That's what he said, that's what he said. |
| [00:10.32] |
When he proposed he informed my mother |
| [00:13.01] |
He was probably her very last chance. |
| [00:16.42] |
And though she was twenty-two, |
| [00:19.04] |
Though she was twenty-two, |
| [00:21.53] |
Though she was twenty-two, |
| [00:26.78] |
She married him. |
| [00:31.08] |
Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic |
| [00:33.39] |
More like a "Come as you are." |
| [00:35.95] |
When I was five I remember my mother |
| [00:38.57] |
Dug earrings out of the car |
| [00:41.06] |
I knew they weren't hers, But it wasn't |
| [00:43.73] |
Something you'd want to discuss. |
| [00:46.60] |
He wasn't warm. |
| [00:49.97] |
Well, not to her. |
| [00:53.09] |
Well, not to us |
| [00:57.71] |
But |
| [00:58.02] |
Everything was beautiful at the ballet. |
| [01:05.01] |
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white. |
| [01:11.38] |
Yes, |
| [01:11.81] |
Everything was beautiful at ballet. |
| [01:17.55] |
Hey! |
| [01:19.24] |
I was happy... at the ballet. |
| [01:26.00] |
That's why I started ballet class... |
| [01:28.31] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway. |
| [01:31.93] |
To the voice like a metronome. |
| [01:35.67] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway. |
| [01:39.42] |
It wasn't paradise... |
| [01:41.23] |
It wasn't paradise... |
| [01:43.04] |
It wasn't paradise... |
| [01:45.47] |
But it was home. |
| [01:49.59] |
Mother always said I'd be very attractive |
| [01:52.09] |
When I grew up, when I grew up. |
| [01:54.64] |
"Diff'rent," she said, "With a special something |
| [01:56.99] |
And a very, very personal flair." |
| [02:01.04] |
And though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:03.16] |
Though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:05.35] |
Though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:09.78] |
I hated her. |
| [02:13.83] |
Now, |
| [02:14.14] |
"Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. |
| [02:16.65] |
"Pretty" is what it's about. |
| [02:18.95] |
I never met anyone who was "diff'rent" |
| [02:21.38] |
Who couldn't figure that out. |
| [02:23.63] |
So beautiful I'd never lived to see. |
| [02:30.23] |
But it was clear, |
| [02:32.60] |
If not to her, |
| [02:35.47] |
Well, then... to me... |
| [02:36.16] |
|
| [02:38.42] |
That ... |
| [02:39.55] |
Everyone is beautiful at the ballet. |
| [02:46.04] |
Every prince has got to have his swan. |
| [02:52.22] |
Yes, |
| [02:52.71] |
Everyone is beautiful at the ballet. |
| [02:58.15] |
Hey!... |
| [02:59.77] |
I was pretty... |
| [03:02.30] |
At the ballet |
| [03:08.29] |
|
| [03:08.81] |
I was born to save their marriage |
| [03:11.31] |
|
| [03:11.90] |
but when my father came to pick my mother up |
| [03:14.64] |
at the hospital |
| [03:15.89] |
he said, "Well, I thought this was going to help. |
| [03:18.84] |
but I guess not..." |
| [03:19.65] |
|
| [03:22.67] |
A few months later,he left,and never came back |
| [03:28.37] |
Anyway, I had this fantastic fantasy life. |
| [03:32.99] |
I used to dance around the living room |
| [03:34.86] |
with my arms up like this |
| [03:37.42] |
My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief... |
| [03:42.10] |
And he'd say to me, |
| [03:44.47] |
"Maggie, do you wanna dance?" |
| [03:47.85] |
And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!" |
| [03:54.40] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [03:55.78] |
But it was clear... |
| [03:56.96] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [03:57.64] |
When he proposed... |
| [03:58.58] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [03:59.71] |
That I was born to help their marriage and when |
| [04:03.51] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [04:04.01] |
That's what he said... |
| [04:05.01] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:05.38] |
That's what she said... |
| [04:06.50] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:06.70] |
I used to dance around the living room... |
| [04:09.94] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [04:10.87] |
He wasn't warm... |
| [04:12.18] |
Doo-doo-doo |
| [04:12.74] |
Not to her... |
| [04:13.93] |
|
| [04:14.94] |
It was an Indian chief and he'd say: |
| [04:17.83] |
"Maggie, do you wanna dance?" |
| [04:21.14] |
And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..." |
| [04:26.00] |
Everything was beautiful at the ballet, |
| [04:32.68] |
Raise your arms and someone's always there. |
| [04:39.17] |
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet, |
| [04:45.54] |
At the ballet, |
| [04:48.97] |
At the ballet!!! |
| [05:00.77] |
|
| [05:05.14] |
Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet. |
| [05:11.69] |
HEY!... |
| [05:13.06] |
I was pretty... |
| [05:15.37] |
I was happy... |
| [05:17.61] |
"I would love to..." |
| [05:20.50] |
At...the...ballet. |
