Pink Ballet Slippers — текст песни (The Roches)

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 dream

see 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
