Der Songtext "At the Ballet" von "Glee Cast" erzählt die Geschichten von drei Frauen, die ihre persönlichen Probleme und...

[Naya Rivera]
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
It 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

[Naya Rivera]
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 that they weren't hers
But it wasn't something you'd wanna discuss
He wasn't warm, well, not to her
Well, not to us

[Refrain: Naya Rivera]
But everything was beautiful at the ballet
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet
I was happy at the ballet

[Naya Rivera]
That's when I started ballet class

[Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker]
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
To the voice like a metronome
Up a steep and very narrow stairway
It wasn't paradise, it wasn't paradise
It wasn't paradise, but it was home

[Sarah Jessica Parker]
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

[Sarah Jessica Parker]
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

[Refrain: Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker]
That everyone is beautiful at the ballet
Every prince has got to have his swan
Yes, everyone is beautiful at the ballet, hey
I was pretty at the ballet

[Sarah Jessica Parker]
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 not."
A few months later he left and he never came back
Anyway, I had this fantastic fantasy life
I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this
And in my fantasy, there was an Indian Chief
And he would say to me, "Izzie, do you wanna dance?"
And I would say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!"

[Naya Rivera, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker]
But it was clear when he proposed
That I was born to help their marriage and when
That's what she said, that's what he said
I used to dance around the living room
He wasn't warm, not to her
It was an Indian chief and he'd say, "Izzie, do you wanna dance?"
And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to..."

[Refrain: Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker]
Everything was beautiful at the ballet
Raise your arms and someone's always there
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet
The ballet, the ballet!

[Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker]
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet, hey
I was pretty, I was happy
"I would love to..."
At the ballet
