Intro:   (spoken) 
       You didn't grow up to be a ballerina 
       But you do a great song and dance 
       G  E  A  D  G  D 
  
  
    G 
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina 
        C                   G 
But you do a great song and dance 
                                
Mamma used to rock you with a concertina 
       A                       D 
To the tune of a rock 'n' roll band 
  
  
         G                     G7 
You were such a little lady, a pretty little baby 
        C                                 A A7 
Had the look that could undo a full grown man 
    G                      E7 
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina 
        A          D        G      D 
But you do a great song and dance 
  
  
    G 
You never went further than that first tondu 
         C                   G 
But your smile sure made 'em rave 
  
I'll bet you made your mom and daddy proud of you 
          A                      D        
When that float drove by and you waved 
  
  
         G                    G7 
You were everybody's dream, a cutie beauty queen 
C                        A  A7 
Destined for a life of romance 
    G                      E7 
You didn't grow up to be a ballerina 
        A          D        G      
But you do a great song and dance 
            E7 
Put on your tutu 
A          D        G      
Do a great song and dance 
            E7 
Oh yes, you do do 
D                   G 
Do a great song and dance 
  
  
INTERLUDE: 
   E7          A   D   G    
Oh up pup pa pa, pa, etc. 
   E7          A   D   G   E7 
Pup pa pa, pa, pa, etc. 
  
  
       (## key change - up 2 semitones ##) 
  
        A 
Oh, you made the grades in every class at school 
   D                         A 
It must've been your natural charm 
  
When it was hot outside, you always could stay cool 
          B                       E 
With that boy in your eye and the one in your arms 
  
  
      A                       A7 
Never mind the arabesque, you do what you did best 
D                           B  B7 
Momma gonna give the girl a hand 
        A                      F#7 
Ah, you didn't grow up to be a ballerina 
        B          E        A 
But you do a great song and dance 
            F#7 
Put on your tutu 
B          E        A 
Do a great song and dance 
            F#7 
Oh yes, you do do 
B          E        A 
Do a great song and dance
