Lyrics

Simple Ballet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the city, in the country, in the towns throughout the world

All will join in, in the big scene,

So won't you please take off your shoes?

It's a ballet, simple ballet, so let's dance on

Pick a partner, take a tall one, take a small

one, take a fat one and let's dance on

Crews will film it, add the music

while the world has its feet engaged

Some critics love it, yet some pan it,

some say "it's likely to cause a rage"

There'll be long shots, there'll be close shots, there'll be mid-shots

Simple ballet was an idea, then a novel,

next a movie, soon on T.V.

It's promotion of a new way of thinking

Instead of "Hey, orange drink," vendors

will say, "get your souvenir posters of the ballet."

Do a plie' for the D.A. when he comes round

Your alleged conduct with the director has

raised some questions that he wants

answered (Good for the ratings)

It's a ballet, we thought a ballet and we danced on

We had no idea you'd hang out your coat on an

issue thin as tissue so we danced our ballet

And we danced our ballet

And we danced our ballet
