What a beautiful ballerina
What a beautiful ballerina I thought
As I looked at the picture on the wall
Of a dancing girl with long hair
As I looked at the picture on the wall
Of a dancing girl with long hair
What a beautiful ballerina
What a beautiful ballerina
The roses dancing in the wind
My own shadow in her eyes
What a beautiful ballerina
What a beautiful ballerina I thought

As I looked at the picture on the wall
Of a dancing girl with long hair
As I looked at the picture on the wall
Of a dancing girl with long hair
What a beautiful ballerina
What a beautiful ballerina
The roses dancing in the wind
My own shadow in her sad eyes

What a beautiful ballerina
What a beautiful ballerina I thought
