Santana:
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
He 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.

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 they weren´t hers, But it wasn´t
Something you´d want to discuss
He wasn´t warm
Well, not to her
Well, not to us

But everything was beautiful at the ballet
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
Yes, everything was beautiful at ballet
Hey!
I was happy... at the ballet.

Santana and Rachel:
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

Rachel:
To the voice like a metronome.

Santana & Rachel:
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

Santana:
It wasn´t paradise...

Kurt:
It wasn´t paradise...

Santana & Rachel:
It wasn´t paradise...

Isabelle:
But it was home.
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.
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

Isabelle, Santana & Rachel:
That everyone is beautiful at the ballet.

Kurt:
Every prince has got to have his swan.

Isabelle, Santana, Rachel & Kurt:
Yes, everyone is beautiful at the ballet.

Rachel:
Hey!

Isabelle, Santana, & Kurt:
I was pretty

Santana:
At the ballet

Isabelle:
I mean 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 it´s not..."
Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life.
I used to dance around the living room
with my arms up like this
My fantasy was that I was an Indian Chief...
And he´d say to me,
"Izzie, do you wanna dance?"
And I´d say, "Daddy, I would love to dance!"

Isabelle (avec Kurt):
Doo-doo-doo-doo
But it was clear...
Doo-doo-doo
When he proposed...

Rachel (avec Kurt):
Doo-doo-doo
That I was born to help their marriage and when
Doo-doo-doo-doo

Isabelle (avec Kurt):
That´s what he said...
Doo-doo-doo

Santana (avec Kurt):
That´s what she said...
Doo-doo-doo

Rachel (avec Kurt):
I used to dance around the living room...
Doo-doo-doo-doo

Santana (avec Kurt):
He wasn´t warm...
Doo-doo-doo
Not to her...

Isabelle:
It was an Indian chief and he´d say:
"Izzie, do you wanna dance?"
And I´d say, "Daddy, I would love to..."

Santana, Kurt & Rachel:
Everything was beautiful at the ballet
Raise your arms and someone´s always there.

Santana, Rachel & Kurt:
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet,
At the ballet
At the ballet
