Description of Ballets

from Words and Music

 
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The next scene needs explaining
And Mr Cochran hopes
You'll find it entertaining.
It is his firm determination
To make you use imagination
And to gather at a glance
The charm of ordinary life in terms of dance.
 
Think of an English Club
On lines of Russian Ballet.
Picture those dear old men
Cavorting musically;
What could be prettier to see
Than angry Colonels in captivity
Pointing the light fantastic toe
A through their daily lives they go!
 
2 . . . See how the 'Dance' can bring to bloom
          Even a boarding-house in Ilfracombe.
          The Ballet Spirit as portrayed
          At number five Marine Parade.
 
3 . . . Now for the sake of our Revue
          You'll see a crèche of infants under two.
          Note the effect of airy grace
          In this clean sanitary place!
