Fighting bullies after school.
Twelve-year olds - can be so cruel.
Words so mean - are hurled your way,
When you're a boy - who takes ballet.
Silver tights - and satin vests.
These are boys - who pirouette.
On tippy toes - we'll stand today;
The fate of boys - who take ballet.
Trained to leap - and trained to land,
Catch ballerinas with one hand.
We're getting buff - Perhaps one day,
We'll beat up boys - who mock ballet.
Silver tights - and satin vests.
We are boys - lest you forget.
One hundred guys - went out to play,
But only three - had to take ballet.
A year's gone by - we don't get creamed,
We're cooler than - the football team.
We've better odds - for meeting babes.
They're five-to-one - when you take ballet.
The girls all love - Our satin vests.
Our silver tights - make women sweat.
BMOC - that's what they say.
We are real men - who take ballet.
I have to agree...mostly because when my daughter was growing up we watched Wizard of Oz so many times she would dress herself up like Dorothy and carry around a little stuffed animal (not a dog) she called Toto. Years later, when she got married, she picked IZZY's cover of Over the Rainbow for our Father-Daughter dance at the reception. Still get teary-eyed thinking about it.
Another cover of the song I like is the one Eva Cassidy did. She was a little-known but very talented performer who died way too young (kinda like IZZY). There are some Youtube vids of her.
That's OK. In Apocalypse Now the F-5s that roll in and set off the "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." firestorm didn't have any ordnance mounted. Just the aux fuel tank under the belly.
