She couldn't spin on her tiptoes
She had no balance, no grace
She couldn't look at a tutu
Without a grin on her face

She couldn't move how she wanted
But she kept her ballet shoes on
And round and round and round she'd go
Dear Adagio

Didn't hear leotard girls laughing
At her accidental brisse
She couldn't keep up with her feet
She loved it anyway

In time they'd forget
And she'd pirouette like a star

She couldn't move how she wanted
She had no balance, no grace
But round and round and round she'd go
Dear Adagio

Round and round and round she'd go
Dear Adagio
