| Ballerina, ballerina, ballerina
|
| How you dance with the grace of a swan
|
| Ballerina, ballerina, ballerina
|
| How you did gravity au revoir
|
| And the doves don’t fly like you
|
| Hummingbirds don’t fly like you
|
| And the budgies don’t fly like you
|
| Your wings are the ones
|
| Chickadees don’t fly like you
|
| And the finches don’t fly like you
|
| Woodpeckers don’t fly like you
|
| Your wings are the ones
|
| Ballerina, ballerina, ballerina
|
| Are you sad that your fame has expired?
|
| Ballerina, ballerina, ballerina
|
| All the halves of your age are admired
|
| But the thrushes don’t fly like you
|
| And the wrens don’t fly like you
|
| And the owls don’t fly like you
|
| Your wings are the ones
|
| And the heron don’t fly like you
|
| And the loons don’t fly like you
|
| And the grouse don’t fly like you
|
| Your wings are the ones |
