      Spread your wings

      Come on fly awhile

      Straight to my arms
                  
Oh, little an  -  gel child
                              
You know you're on  -  ly
                                         
     Lonely twenty-two   story block
                 
And if somebody, not just anybody
                              
Wanted to get close to you

For instance, me, baby

     All you gotta do

Is ring the bell

 
Step right up, step right up

And step right up
     
Ballerina

     Grab it. catch it
                   
Fly it, sigh it,    try it

Well, I may be wrong
But something deep in my heart tells me I'm right and I don't think so
You know I saw the writing on the wall
When you came up to me
Child, you were heading for a fall
But if it gets to you
And you feel like you just can't go on
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina
Stepping lightly

Alright, well it's getting late
Yes it is, yes it is
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber
The light is on the left side of your head
And I'm standing in your doorway
And I'm mumbling and I can't remember the last thing that ran through my head
Here come the man and he say, he say the show must go on
So all you gotta do
Is ring the bell
And step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sight it, c'mon, die it, yeah


Just like a ballerina
                                             
Just like a just like a just like a ballerina
Get on up, get on up, keep a-moving on, little bit higher, baby
You know, you know, you know, get up baby
Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing
Stepping lightly
Just like a ballerina
Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes
Working on
Just like a ballerina
