Daddy said he'd buy you some ballet shoes
        But he spent all he had on hash
        And avoiding another crash
        Now who will look after you

        One night your shoulders will ache
        But next day when you wake
        You'll sprout wild wings, and fly
        Just like in Swan Lake

        Oh you helpless birdlings, nobody wants you
        How will you ever survive out of the nest
        And the wolf will put his nose in
        And the water is so frozen
        You'll have to swim like all the rest
