about

Sung by Miss Janine, and old ex-Broadway gypsy who is substituting for the Pre Ballet teacher.

lyrics

JANINE
Now pretend that you’re a little bunny hopping in the bush
And then you give ‘em all the shoulders
and you shake your tush

If you wanna make some money in the biz

You take a little step and then you point your toe
And then you kick ‘em up like Ruby Keeler long ago

If you wanna make some money in the biz

Can anybody tell me why a ballerina looks so skinny?
Well ballerinas have to eat and food costs money
But in ballet there just isn’t any

So it’s OK to be a swan and dance on pointe
But then you gotta find a way to really own the joint

If you wanna make some money in the biz


Now everybody knows the Sleeping Beauty
Ended up as Mrs… Charming
But girls you gotta realize,
That in this business lots of guys
Are…Well…it’s alarming

So put on fishnet stockings and a sequin tux
And then just go on out there looking like a million bucks

If you wanna make some money
I know what I’m talkin’ ‘bout
So listen to me Honey

If you wanna make some money in the biz
Looks like my work here is done!
