Pink Ballet Slippers Lyrics - 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
