How does a prima graduate from ballerina
I'll give you a little clue
To be in a world-class ballet company
There's one thing that you must love to do

Practice, practice, practice
If at first you don't succeed
Don't give up just keep on trying
Til you get up to speed
First position, second position, third and fourth and fifth
Plies makes you sleet and strong
But first you're gonna be stiff
Time to do our releves
Then our Pas be bourrees
We're dizzy doing pirouette
We love our Grande Jete
Practice, practice, practice
At the ballet bar
This is what you love to do to be a ballet star
Do your best and you'll get better
Just don't call it quits
All at once, you'll find that you're so flexible
You can even do the splits

First position, second position, on and on it goes
And one day you'll do arabesque
Standing on your toes
For each and every one percent of style and inspiration
A New York City ballerina gives it
Ninety-nine percent perspiration
Practice, practice, practice
Will surely make you number one
But you don't have to be a prima just to have some fun

 

 

 

There's a blister on my sister from too many Grande Jete
And there's nothing I can do to make it go away
With bandages applied, she looks so undignified
It's a sad athlete who's got sore feet

Welcome to the club
Don't think this is easy street
We know how it feels
But when the lights go down, the curtain comes up
(3rd chorus add: The music swells and you feel the beat)
And the setting is complete.
It's bittersweet, when we've got sore feet
It's a crying change seize, it's how personality
Can change dramatically.
When they've got sore feet
It's the dance with pain, but they do it all they get
It's a love hate thing, when you're got (we've got)
Sore Feet

Look at these worn and tired shoes
They've been good to you
They have a selfcount let us pay our dues
They knew just what to do
They had to fit just right
Not too loose and not too tight
They gave it all
It came through for you
Strap your ankles 'til your toes turn blue

 

 

 

When you got butterflies in your stomach
And it saids it in your mouth
Your body's signifying
It wants a way out
Cause you're scared that you might mess up
Afraid that you might goof
So when you're feeling really nervous,
Here is what you got to do

Just breath a little deeper
Sip a little water
Know that you'll be great
Everybody's gonna love it
Especially if you smile
When you step out on that stage
Ohh yeah! Ohh yeah! Ohh yeah! Ohh yeah!
Wow! I can't help it. I still have butterflies in my stomach
You know, it could be worse
Yeah, you could have a caterpillar up your nose
Ok, ok, ok
What did a dancer do when she hurt her foot?
She called a toe-truck
Now there's something that you must know
Since you've done this all before
Every fear is gonna leave you
When you step on that dance floor
Cause you're doing what you love most
And practiced for four years
And if you're dancing from your heart,
Then you will leave them all in tears, so

 

 

On a day like today I want to show you a place
That's always under sunny skies
All the things that we'll see, I can guarantee
Time will seem to fly
We can hardly wait, senses will be reelin'
When we go up and down
Up, down and around

Meet you at the mall
There's no time to waste
I'm so glad you called
Meet you at the mall
An unconditional wonderful spectacle
Meet you at the mall
There's a merry-go-round, teddy bears and games
And clothes that are to die for
And schools of fishes pass you by
As they play on the second floor
Is it really real? What a happy feelin'
When we go up and down
Up, down and around

It's a fantasy, it's make believe
It's come let's see just what can happen
It's mystery, it's feed me feed me
Ooh, it's up and won
Up, down and around

 

 

 

I don't know about you but I'm not through
'Cause when we're wrinkled and gray
I hope there's still a kind in you,
Who wants to come out and play.
What is this gadget in hand? What is for?
It's not my imagination, I can see a dinosaur
Ooh, look at the pretty teddy bear
Gotta hug that bear
We're in a place that brings together
Toy's you'll treasure forever
Everything is here and waiting
No time for hesitating

When I grow up (Grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
Look at all the really cool things kids can get into
Ooh (ooh)
When I grow up (Grow up, grow up)
I wanna be a kid (Be a kid)
I wanna have some fun and stay forever young
This fits so easy in my hand
It's a perfect size
I wanna see that shiny tractor
It depends on what you're after
I gotta go see the kitchen store
It's state of the art
Everything is there for baking, broiling, broiling, oiling, shaking
This paradise of toys just might be better than boys

Everything is here for waiting, it's time for celebrating

 

 

 

Dear fair maidens of the Mall of America
It is time to enter the fabulous food court
Here you will find the finest fast dining of the world
Chinese and Japanese, Middle Eastern too
Mexican and Indian, Italian just for you
And for those who are not as adventurous
American will do
But look at all the candy!
They got taffy stores where we can pull the taffy for ourselves
They got fudge shops where we create our favorite kind of fudge
They got the biggest store the world has seen for every flavor jelly bean
Don't forget, you can't forget the wide array of ice cream!
Listen my friends, no offense to my sister
If you eat all that candy, you'll never be sicker
The thing to do you must realize
Is eat a good meal, that's what I advise.
I object!
Overruled!
Can't we compromise?
Here we can eat any meal we choose from all over the world
Stir fry, or sushi, falafel just for you
Enchiladas, curry chicken, fries and burgers too
And for those who are still hungry afterwards
Candy for dessert
All right Judge of the food court, I accept your ruling
But how will we decide what kind of food to eat?
There are so many choices, let's see what sounds good
A pizza pie sounds way too dull for what we have in mind
And though a burger's fun with lots of fries
We can get them anytime
So let us eat exotically, try some food with curry
You get the shwarma, and sushi
And I'll get the chicken tandoori
I bought some fries for good measure.
Got enough room for dessert?
Yeah!

 

 

 

I love it (Do you need it?)
Gotta have it (How much?)
Four weeks allowance (Do ya still love it?)
I don't know. Decisions, Decisions.
When you're stylin' on allowance, it's gonna be tough
'Cause in a mall this big, ya know there's so much stuff
Two of these (Four of those)
For your fingers (For your toes)
Fuzzy sweaters (Soft and pale)
Stuff on sale!
Decisions, Decisions (Decisions ooh)
We were window shoppin' now there's no time to lost
which one's the right one, let's model them and choose
In a fashion show strut your stuff on the runway
then strike a pose
Clothes so cool, wear' em in a fun way, give 'em attitude
Ski clothes, swim clothes, retro grunge
School and gym clothes, time for lunch?
Coats and hats, a party dress
Which one do you like the best?
Which one do you like the best?
I love this vest!
Someone make a fashion arrest!
When you're checked out the options,
And you've still got the urge
Remember now and then a girl's gotta splurge

 

 

 

Everybody come down to the mall, yeah!
It's a party, come on! (Everybody)
Instant Party, when you're at the mall yeah!
Everybody come on (Instant Party)
Just add (you) into the mix
And we're all set to go!
Friends and fashion, food and fun
You know we told you so (Instant Party)

There's some fun for everyone
Tons of stuff to see!
Scores of stores to choose from
Anything you please (Instant Party)
Here you'll meet all kinds of folks
From near and far away!
Rides to ride, new things to try
And lots of games to play (Instant Party)
Hey everybody, come out and dance
Put you hands together for the band
Yeah... That's right... Sing along

We can do almost anything
Like run around the place!
Sit and watch the people go by
Making funny faces (Instant Party)

Everybody come on (Instant Party) Everybody come on!

 

 

 

Rootbeer floats, banana boats
Gelate and Sorbet are hard to resist
What if they didn't exist?
For me it wouldn't be easy 'cause you see...

I'm ice cream crazy,
No ifs, ands, buts or maybes
Ice cream crazy,
'Cause I'm an ice cream ice cream baby
We have colors of the rainbow
From all around the world
And anything you'd like to try
You can have it plain or swirled
With a pinch and a dash of this and that
On a cone it does a balancing act
And oh, ya know it's bound to droop
Yumma Dum Dum it's a triple scoop

Sometimes I just can't decide
What flavor I should choose
So I close my eyes and one, two, three,
I know that I can't lose
With a pinch and dash of this and that,
Till the cherry on top is an acrobat
Oh I get carried away
Yumma Dum Dum, just look at that sundae.
My darlin' someday if you weigh more that you should
It's ok
'Cause I would make your sundae with no fat, low cal, sorbet

Baby! Baby!
