Wind the box
Pop the clasp
I'm inside
Always inside
Lift the lid
And I'll dance 'round and 'round
Just for you
Among your trinkets
Did ya ever want to be
A trapped ballerina like me
Swirling in a torn tutu
As the same sweet tune
Brings me to life for you
Near the Mic Mac watch
Grandmother's locket
A cherry bomb
Where's that ring oh yeah, I hocked it
Rhinestone brooch
And your old man's bolo tie
He always wore to the Friday Night Fish Fry
Jewellery box
Jewellery box
What is in your jewellery box
Repair jobs and old ideas
That still shine like brand new
And a ballerina who won't quit out on you
As long as you keep on winding
As long as you
Keep on winding
