pink ballet slippers
two dollars for a pair
must have been made
by the guy in the store
they're strange
on i don't care
i'm gonna buy them
they might be too small
lately while dancing i fall
sweet ballerina
turns on her tiny toes
he lifts her up and carries her
how come i'm not one of those
i do my dancing in combat boots
i don't look good in a tu tu
o teacher
can you help me
get a kick out of these
pink ballet slippers
pink ballet slippers
i wear em to sleep
i wear em to dreamsee you sew the elastic
neatly to the side
deep in a drawer bury them
these shoes you gotta hide
only can wear em when nobody's home
or when you're talking on the telephone
o teacher
can you find me
somewhere to be pretty
in my pink ballet slippers
pink ballet slippers
i wear em to sleep
i wear em to dream
i wear em to sleep
