In the city, in the country, in the towns throughout the world
   All will join in, in the big scene,
   So won't you please take off your shoes?
  
   It's a ballet, simple ballet, so let's dance on
   Pick a partner, take a tall one, take a small
   one, take a fat one and let's dance on
  
   Crews will film it, add the music, while the world has its feet engaged
   Some critics love it, yet some pan it, some say "it's likely to cause a rage"
  
   There'll be long shots, there'll be close shots, there'll be mid-shots
   Simple ballet was an idea, then a novel, next a movie, soon on T.V.
  
   It's promotion of a new way of thinking
   Instead of "Hey, orange drink," vendors
   will say, "get your souvenir posters of the ballet."
  
   Do a plie for the D.A. when he comes round
   Your alleged conduct with the director has
   raised some questions that he wants
   answered (Good for the ratings)
  
   It's a ballet, we thought a ballet and we danced on
   We had no idea you'd hang out your coat on an
   issue thin as tissue so we danced our ballet
  
   And we danced our ballet
   And we danced our ballet
