At The Ballet Lyrics - Glee

Santana: 

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him 

That's what he said, that's what he said 

When he proposed he informed my mother 

He was probably her very last chance 

And though she was twenty-two, 

Though she was twenty-two, 

Though she was twenty-two, 

She married him. 

Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic 

More like a "Come as you are," 

When I was five I remember my mother 

Dug earrings out of the car 

I knew they weren't hers, But it wasn't 

Something you'd want to discuss 

He wasn't warm 

Well, not to her 

Well, not to us 

But everything was beautiful at the ballet 

Graceful men lift lovely girls in white 

Yes, everything was beautiful at ballet 

Hey! 

I was happy... at the ballet. 

Santana and Rachel: 

Up a steep and very narrow stairway. 

Rachel: 

To the voice like a metronome. 

Santana & Rachel: 

Up a steep and very narrow stairway. 

Santana: 

It wasn't paradise... 

Kurt: 

It wasn't paradise... 

Santana & Rachel: 

It wasn't paradise... 

Isabelle: 

But it was home. 

Mother always said I'd be very attractive 

When I grew up, when I grew up. 

"Diff'rent," she said, "With a special something 

And a very, very personal flair." 

And though I was eight or nine, 

Though I was eight or nine, 

Though I was eight or nine, 

I hated her. 

Now, "Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty 

"Pretty" is what it's about 

I never met anyone who was "diff'rent" 

Who couldn't figure that out. 

So beautiful I'd never lived to see. 

But it was clear, 

If not to her, 

Well, then to me 

Isabelle, Santana & Rachel: 

That everyone is beautiful at the ballet. 

Kurt: 

Every prince has got to have his swan. 

Isabelle, Santana, Rachel & Kurt: 

Yes, everyone is beautiful at the ballet. 

Rachel: 

Hey! 

Isabelle, Santana, & Kurt: 

I was pretty 

Santana: 

At the ballet 

Isabelle: 

I mean I was born to save their marriage 

but when my father came to pick my mother up 

at the hospital 

he said, "Well, I thought this was going to help. 

but I guess it's not..." 

Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life. 

I used to dance around the living room 

with my arms up like this 

My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief... 

And he'd say to me, 

"Izzie, do you wanna dance?" 

And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!" 

Isabelle (avec Kurt): 

Doo-doo-doo-doo 

But it was clear... 

Doo-doo-doo 

When he proposed... 

Rachel (avec Kurt): 

Doo-doo-doo 

That I was born to help their marriage and when 

Doo-doo-doo-doo 

Isabelle (avec Kurt): 

That's what he said... 

Doo-doo-doo 

Santana (avec Kurt): 

That's what she said... 

Doo-doo-doo 

Rachel (avec Kurt): 

I used to dance around the living room... 

Doo-doo-doo-doo 

Santana (avec Kurt): 

He wasn't warm... 

Doo-doo-doo 

Not to her... 

Isabelle: 

It was an Indian chief and he'd say: 

"Izzie, do you wanna dance?" 

And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..." 

Santana, Kurt & Rachel: 

Everything was beautiful at the ballet 

Raise your arms and someone's always there. 

Santana, Rachel & Kurt: 

Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet, 

At the ballet 

At the ballet 

The ballet 

The ballet 

Santana & Rachel: 

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet. The ballet 

The ballet 

Isabelle, Santana, Kurt & Rachel: 

yes everything was beautiful at the ballet 

Rachel: 

Hey! 

Isabelle: 

I was pretty... 

Santana: 

I was happy... 

Kurt: 

"I would love to..." 

Isabelle, Santana, Rachel and Kurt: 

At... the... ballet.
