Concertina Ballerina

Harlequin dancers belong on a stage

Minstrel is playing to lions in a cage

Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor

Girl selling orchids, one penny for four

Soon there's a crowd at the caravan door

Of the concertina ballerina

Dressed in white satin with ribbon and lace

Wearing a mask, she is hiding her face

Dancing in time to a concertina

Harlequin dolls, he'd be lost without her

He was the star of the travelling fair

'Til the concertina ballerina

How can he tell her?

She stole his heart

Born without speaking

Tears him apart

Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor (how can he tell her?)

Soon there's a crowd at the caravan door (born without speaking)

Of the concertina ballerina (tears...)
