Concertina Ballerina Lyrics

[Chorus]
Harlequin dances alone on a stage
Minstrel is playing to lions in a cage
Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor
Girls selling orchids, one penny for four
Soon there’s a crowd at the caravan door
Of the concertina ballerina

[Verse]
Dressed in white satin with ribbon and lace
Wearing a mask, she is hiding her face
Dancing in time to a concertina
Harlequin knows he’d be lost without her
He was the star of the travelling fair
Till the concertina ballerina

[Bridge]
How can he tеll her
She stole his hеart
Born without speaking
Tears him apart
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Harlequin dances alone on a stage
Minstrel is playing to lions in a cage
Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor
Girls selling orchids, one penny for four
Soon there’s a crowd at the caravan door
Of the concertina ballerina

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Harlequin dances alone on a stage
Minstrel is playing to lions in a cage
Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor
Girls selling orchids, one penny for four
Soon there’s a crowd at the caravan door
Of the concertina ballerina
