Get on up, get on up
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber
Just like a, just like a, just like a ballerina
Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes
And you feel like you just can't go on
Step right up and step right up

You know you only
And step right up, ballerina
But something deep in my heart

All you gotta do is ring a bell
He say the show must go on
Step right up, step right up
And step right up, just like a ballerina
You know, you know, you know, get up baby

Wanted to get close to you
Crowd will catch you
The light is on the left side of your head
Lonely twenty-two story block

When you came up to me

Well, I may be wrong
Here come the man and he say
Fly it, sigh it, try it
And I'm standing in your doorway
Just like a ballerina
The last thing that ran through my head
You know I saw the writing on the wall
For instance, me, baby
So all you gotta do is ring the bell
Keep a-moving on, little bit higher, baby

Fly it, sight it, c'mon, die it, yeah
And step right up and step right up
Yes it is, yes it is
Working on just like a ballerina
Crowd will catch you
Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on
And step right up
And if somebody, not just anybody
Tells me I'm right and I don't think so
Just like a ballerina

Stepping lightly, alright, well, it's getting late
Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah
But if it gets to you
Child, you were heading for a fall

All you gotta do is ring a bell
And I'm mumbling and I can't remember
A-keep on pushing stepping lightly
