Princess Ballerina



Princess ballerina
Petite beautiful blonde, not now a minor
Gliding through the place
Setting many a heart to race
Moving with an air of grace
So beautiful in sheer lace.

Trendsetter of sheer delight
Crowning jewel of all here tonight.
Apprenticeship you’ll have to serve
Before you’re a dancing Queen, unreserved.

Slim pretty young thing
Ages before you’ll get a ring
So kick up your heels like a ballerina
In the society pages photos we’ll see her
Dancing & gliding all around the place
For you’ll never forget her face.
