The Roches - Pink Ballet Slippers lyrics

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
