Roches - Pink Ballet Slippers lyrics

rate me

Pink ballet slippers<br />

Two dollars for a pair<br />

Must have been made<br />

By the guy in the store<br />

They're strange<br />

On i don't care<br />

I'm gonna buy them<br />

They might be too small<br />

Lately while dancing i fall<br />

<br />

Sweet ballerina<br />

Turns on her tiny toes<br />

He lifts her up and carries her<br />

How come i'm not one of those<br />

I do my dancing in combat boots<br />

I don't look good in a tu tu<br />

<br />

O teacher<br />

Can you help me<br />

Get a kick out of these<br />

Pink ballet slippers<br />

Pink ballet slippers<br />

I wear em to sleep<br />

I wear em to dream<br />

<br />

See you sew the elastic<br />

Neatly to the side<br />

Deep in a drawer bury them<br />

These shoes you gotta hide<br />

Only can wear em when nobody's home<br />

Or when you're talking on the telephone<br />

<br />

O teacher<br />

Can you find me<br />

Somewhere to be pretty<br />

In my pink ballet slippers<br />

Pink ballet slippers<br />

I wear em to sleep<br />

I wear em to dream<br />

I wear em to sleep
