lyrics
She looks at a photograph and doesn’t know her face.
What used to be has faded and she feels so out of place.
Oh, Joy. Oh, Joy.
He told her what she couldn’t do, she never even tried,
She threw away her ballet shoes, she never felt alive,
Oh, Joy. Oh, Joy.
Age is just the number of the years you’ve lived your life.
You might feel much younger as a widow than a wife.
Oh, Joy. Oh, Joy.
He loved her very dearly but grew jealous of her act.
Her partner used to hold her hand, and he’d have none of that.
Oh, George. Oh, George.
And every time she did the splits, he’d have a heart attack,
He worried for her frail hips and feared she’d break her back.
Oh, George. Oh, George.
He was so appropriate, he never let her dance,
He sat down on his chair all day and never took a chance.
Oh George, Oh, George.
If he could see her on the floor now, splits and twists and twirls,
He would say “Oh. please no more, you’re not a little girl no more, no more.”
