May family scene was not good. (sings) 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 that 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 ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet. Graceful men lift lovely girls in white. Yes, ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet. Hey! I was happy at the ballet. (speaks) That's when I started class (sings) Up a steep and very narrow stairway. SHEILA, BEBE To the voice like a metronome. Up a steep and very narrow stairway. SHEILA It wasn't paradise, BEBE It wasn't paradise, SHEILA, BEBE It wasn't paradise, SHEILA But it was home. BEBE Mother always said I'd be very attractive When I grew up, when I grew up. "Different," 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) "Different" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty. "Pretty" is what it's about. I never met anyone who was "different" Who couldn't figure that out. So beautiful I'd never live to see. But it was clear, if not to her, Well, then to me that BEBE, MAGGIE Everyone is beautiful at the ballet Ev'ry prince has got to have his swan. Yes, ev'ryone is beautiful at the ballet. MAGGIE Hey! BEBE I was pretty SHEILA At the ballet. MAGGIE, BEBE, SHEILA Up a steep and very narrow stairway. To the voice like a metronome. Up a steep and very narrow stairway. MAGGIE It wasn't paradise, BEBE It wasn't paradise, SHEILA It wasn't paradise, TRIO But it was home. MAGGIE (speaks) I don't know what they were for or against really. except each other. 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 out, but I guess it's not." Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life. I used to dance around the living room with my hand up like this. My fantasy was that it was an Indian Chief and he'd say to me, "Maggie, do you wanna dance " And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance." (Other 2 girls sing "Do, do, do") BEBE But it was clear SHEILA When he proposed MAGGIE That I was born to help their marriage and when SHEILA That's what he said BEBE That's what she said MAGGIE I used to dance around the living room SHEILA He wasn't warm BEBE Not to her MAGGIE It was an Indian chief and he'd say: "Maggie, do you wanna dance " And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to " Ev'rything was beautiful at the ballet.
