If you have a lot of money
But you're all alone
In spite of all you possess -
If you're pumping up on steroids
But you're all alone
Without a woman's caress -
Gentlemen, you gotta get a clue, now
If your social life is looking blue, now.

You gotta be a ballet dancer
To get along with the beautiful girls
You gotta be a cute stud muffin in tights
You will delight the ladies tonight.
Every discriminating lady
Won't have just anyone with greens -
You gotta be a ballet dancer
To get along with society queens.

(patter verse)
Ladies of society
Go for jocks with dignity
Baryshnikov and Nureyev
Alexander Godunov
Are evidence enough
They have charming ladies
On their arm -
It makes no diff'rence whether not you're gay, man
Ladies will adore you anyway, man.

You gotta be a ballet dancer
To get along with the beautiful girls
No matter what the Governator can do
A jete or two will draw them to you
If you're a hunk who's intellectual
And you are suave and debonaire
If you can be a ballet dancer
No one cares if you're a millionaire.
