Lyrics

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 TV
Oh, no
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 your coat on
An issue thin as tissue
So we danced our ballet
And we danced our ballet
Yes, we danced our ballet
And we danced our ballet
And we danced our ballet
And we danced our ballet
