My feet are wet and soggy
I am on my way home
My toes are bruised and blistered
Like that time I walked on my toes

My feet were crunched inside a wooden shoe
Ballerina girl, you better not choose
To hang around the boys after school
Go and do your turns like a good girl

My thumb is other people
It's different lookin' than my toe
My hands are better functioned
They can do more than just say no

Dancer girl lay off the chips you fool
No one wants a tubby girl in a tutu
All the other dancers are gettin' moved up
Go on and work on your stretches mama'

My feet are wet and soggy
Useless on the way home
