How does a prima graduate from ballerina
I´ll give you a little clue
To be in a world-class ballet company
There´s one thing that you must love to do

Chorus:
Practice, practice, practice
If at first you don´t succeed
Don´t give up just keep on trying
Til you get up to speed

First position, second position, third and fourth and fifth
Plies makes you sleek and strong
But first you´re gonna be stiff
Time to do our releves
Then our Pas be bourrees
We´re dizzy doing pirouettes
We love our Grande Jetes

Practice, practice, practice
At the ballet barre
This is what you love to do to be a ballet star
Do your best and you´ll get better
Just don´t call it quits
All at once, you´ll find that you´re so flexible
You can even do the splits

Chorus

First position, second position, on and on it goes
And one day you´ll do aerobettes
Standing on your toes

For each and every one percent of style and inspiration
A New York City ballerina gives it
Ninety-nine percent perspiration

Practice, practice, practice
Will surely make you number one
But you don´t have to be a prima just to have some fun
