Machine Ballerina |
| Am I an afternoon’s pastime? |
| A thing on a string |
| To be thrown and retrieved |
| Like a phone call received |
| On somebody’s birthday |
| To tease and delight |
| And then say goodnight |
| And then just say goodbye? |
| Am I a toy on a tray? |
| A soft piece of clay |
| Queen or clown for the day |
| Machine ballerina |
| Soldier of tin |
| Standing so loyal |
| While you sit so royal |
| Then I’m put away? |
| Ch: For your approval |
| Perusal |
| And your possible |
| Refusal |
| I’m amusing |
| I’m a puppet for your play |
| Am I your Mad Magazine? |
| Skin trampoline |
| Pin-up pinball machine |
| Your fantasy girl |
| Of puzzling parts |
| But none fits or starts |
| We match wits but not hearts |
| I’m heard but never seen? |
| Chorus again |
