She used to want to be a ballerina
She used to want to be a paper swan
She used to dance pretend for the Prince of England
With her deerskin boots and her ballet makeup on
She used to run among the forest branches
Costumed in the feathers and the leaves she'd find
Practicing her pirouettes and prances
Perfectly Pavlova in her mind
La dat dat dat, la dat dat dat
Oh look in your heart, see where she's at
She used to want to be a ballerina
She settled for the satisfaction of her soul
Rock and roll will never be Tchaikowsky
But Tchaikowsky'll never be rock and roll
La dat dat dat, la dat dat dat
Oh, look in your heart, see where she's at
