SHEILA |
| [00:05.46] |
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him |
| [00:08.12] |
That's what he said, that's what he said. |
| [00:10.78] |
When he proposed he informed my mother |
| [00:13.11] |
He was probably her very last chance. |
| [00:17.17] |
And though she was twenty-two, |
| [00:19.35] |
Though she was twenty-two, |
| [00:21.34] |
Though she was twenty-two-- |
| [00:25.18] |
She married him. |
| [00:28.94] |
Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic |
| [00:31.47] |
More like a "Come as you are." |
| [00:33.98] |
When I was five I remember my mother |
| [00:36.62] |
Dug earrings out of the car |
| [00:39.29] |
I knew they weren't hers |
| [00:41.17] |
But it wasn't something you'd wanna discuss |
| [00:44.12] |
He wasn't warm, well, not to her ... well, not to us |
| [00:53.61] |
But ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet. |
| [01:01.44] |
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white. |
| [01:08.48] |
Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at ballet, |
| [01:15.31] |
Hey! I was happy at the ballet. |
| [01:22.32] |
That's why I started ballet class |
| [01:23.98] |
|
| [01:24.42] |
SHEILA and BEBE |
| [01:24.70] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [01:28.04] |
To the voice like a metronome |
| [01:31.63] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [01:35.51] |
It wasn't paradise, it wasn't paradise, |
| [01:39.15] |
It wasn't paradise, but it was home. |
| [01:44.62] |
|
| [01:45.83] |
BEBE |
| [01:48.42] |
Mother always said I'd be very attractive |
| [01:50.93] |
When I grew up, when I grew up |
| [01:53.57] |
"Diff'rent," she said, |
| [01:54.57] |
"With a special something |
| [01:55.86] |
And a very, very personal flair." |
| [01:59.83] |
And though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:02.04] |
Though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:04.11] |
Though I was eight or nine, |
| [02:07.54] |
I hated her. |
| [02:11.13] |
Now, "diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. |
| [02:14.00] |
"Pretty" is what it's about. |
| [02:16.64] |
I never met anyone who was "diff'rent" |
| [02:19.07] |
Who couldn't figure that out. |
| [02:21.38] |
So beautiful I'd never lived to see. |
| [02:27.37] |
But it was clear, if not to her, |
| [02:30.97] |
Well then to me! |
| [02:34.16] |
|
| [02:35.44] |
BEBE and MAGGIE |
| [02:36.26] |
That ev'ryone is beautiful at the ballet. |
| [02:44.08] |
Ev'ry prince has got to have his swan. |
| [02:51.54] |
Yes, ev'ryone is beautiful at the ballet, |
| [02:58.10] |
Hey! I was pretty |

SHEILA BEBE and MAGGIE |
| [03:07.50] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [03:11.25] |
To the voice like a metronome |
| [03:14.98] |
Up a steep and very narrow stairway |
| [03:18.75] |
It wasn't paradise, |
| [03:20.63] |
it wasn't paradise, |
| [03:22.77] |
It wasn't paradise, but it was home. |
| [03:27.69] |
|
| [03:28.35] |
MAGGIE |
| [03:28.58] |
I don't know what they were for or against, really! Except each |
| [03:30.84] |
other! I mean, I was born to save their marriage. But when my father |
| [03:34.70] |
came to pick My mother up at the hospital, he said, "Well, I thought |
| [03:38.32] |
this was going to help But I guess it's not." Anyway, I did have a |
| [03:42.64] |
fantastic fantasy life I used to dance around the living room with |
| [03:46.87] |
my arms up like this. My fantasy was that it was an Indian chief and |
| [03:52.15] |
he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you wanna dance?" And I'd say, |
| [03:56.33] |
"Daddy, I would love to dance!" |
| [03:58.74] |
|
| [03:59.42] |
SHEILA, BEBE and MAGGIE |
| [03:59.81] |
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo |
| [04:01.30] |
But it was clear when he proposed |
| [04:04.75] |
That I was born to help their marriage and when |
| [04:09.06] |
That's what he said, |
| [04:11.04] |
That's what she said, |
| [04:12.63] |
I used to dance around the living room |
| [04:16.94] |
He wasn't warm, not to her |
| [04:19.63] |
|
| [04:20.26] |
MAGGIE |
| [04:21.18] |
It was an Indian chief and he said |
| [04:24.60] |
"Maggie, do you wanna dance?" |
| [04:28.21] |
And I said, "Daddy, I would love to." |
| [04:33.43] |
Ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet. |
| [04:40.68] |
Raise your arms and someone's always there |
| [04:48.38] |
Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet |
