       C
Every day in the morning on her way to the office
         F                         C
You can see her as she catches a train
        F                    C
Just a face among a million faces
                            G
Just another woman with no name

Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree
Because I know she's got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be

Chorus:
 C
Nina, pretty ballerina
                G
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
                C
Just like Cinderella (Just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
              G
Who'd ever think she could be this way?
This is the part that she likes to play
                   C             G
But she knows the fun would go away
               C            G
If she would play it every day

So she's back every morning to her work at the office
And another week to live in a dream
And another row of early mornings
In an almost never-ending stream
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore
But they wouldn't know her little secret
What her Friday night would have in store

Chorus:
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella (Just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who'd ever think she could be this way?
This is the part that she likes to play
She would like to play it every day
Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella (Just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who'd ever think she could be this way?
This is the part that she likes to play...
