Concertina Ballerina lyrics

Harlequin dances alone 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 knows he'd be lost without her He was the star of the travelling fair Till the concertina ballerina How can he tell her? She stole his heart Born without speaking Tears him apart Harlequin dances alone on a stage Minstrel is playing to lions in a cage Pictures and portraits are sketched on the floor (how can he tell her?) Girl selling orchids, one penny for four (she stole his heart) Soon there's a crowd at the caravan door (born without speaking) Of the concertina ballerina (tears)
