Melanie - Ballerina nd Fret Intro: (spoken) You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina But you do a great song and dance You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina But you do a great song and dance Mamma used to rock you with a concertina To the tune of a rock ’n’ roll band You were such a little lady a pretty little baby Had the look that could undo a full grown man You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina But you do a great song and dance You never went further than that first tondu But your smile sure made ’em rave I’ll bet you made your mom and daddy proud of you When that float drove by and you waved You were everybody’s dream a cutie beauty queen Destined for a life of romance You didn’t grow up to be a ballerina But you do a great song and dance Put on your tutu Do a great song and dance Oh yes you do do Do a great song and dance INTERLUDE: Oh up pup pa pa pa etc. Pup pa pa pa pa etc. (## key change - up 2 semitones ##) Oh you made the grades in every class at school It must’ve been your natural charm When it was hot outside you always could stay cool With that boy in your eye and the one in your arms Never mind the arabesque you do what you did best Momma gonna give the girl a hand Ah you didn’t grow up to be a ballerina But you do a great song and dance Put on your tutu Do a great song and dance Oh yes you do do Do a great song and dance

La chanson évoque le parcours d'une jeune femme qui n'est pas devenue ballerine, mais qui rayonne par son charisme et son talent dans la danse. Elle évoque des souvenirs d'enfance, où sa mère la berçait avec de la musique, soulignant son charme irrésistible qui conquiert les cœurs. Malgré une vie qui ne correspond pas à tous les idéaux de ballet, elle réussit à enchante par sa présence et sa joie de vivre. Le contexte semble refléter les rêves et les aspirations que l'on peut avoir, tout en acceptant que la vie ne suive pas toujours le chemin prévu. Cela évoque une belle célébration de l'authenticité et du bonheur d’être soi-même, peu importe les attentes extérieures.
