It takes ten years just to get Your stinking leg up Then five more to make it Not look like shit
Soviet children form a crowd Sized and tested Who will be a star? Hero of passion of whom they'll say She took her final breath in grand plié
Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! You were a swan but now you're swimming in the Caribbean Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
Everybody's asking me: Where is Mary? I don't see her at the theatre Or the parties
That's right, because She's carving bamboo Far from the artistic milieu Never thought she'd live without Allegiance to a life of art
Oh! My mother! Russian ballerina! You were a swan but now you're swimming in the Caribbean Oh! My mother! Russian ballerina! Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
La la la, la la la la la (x4)
Life changes One day it's eggshells and bread Married to an intellect The next you drive a corvette
Things change You live your life for the stage 'Til your kidney floats away Throw in a car accident
A time for art A time for living Sometimes the two can be conflicting And mama I'll meet you at Caribana Together we're the highest form of art
Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! You were a swan but now you're swimming in the Caribbean Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! Too bad your pirouettes now look almost as bad as mine Oh! My mother! Russian Ballerina! Who needs that bullshit we can drink at the casino all night
(Everybody now!)
