Skin<br />
You gotta have skin.<br />
All you really need is skin.<br />
Skin's the thing that if you got it outside,<br />
It helps keep your insides in.<br />
It covers your nose,<br />
And it's wrapped around your toes.<br />
And inside it you put lemon meringue,<br />
And outside ya hang your clothes.<br />
Skin is what ya feel at home in.<br />
And without it, furthermore,<br />
Both your liver and abdomen<br />
Would keep falling on the floor.<br />
(And you'd be dressed in your intestine)<br />
A Siamese twin<br />
Needs an extra set of skin.<br />
When the doctor knows that you're feeling sick<br />
Where does he stick his needle in?<br />
In the end of your skin.<br />
All your friends and all your kinfolks,<br />
Whether poor or whether rich,<br />
They have all got lots of skin, folks,<br />
It's convenient when they itch.<br />
(Nothing can match it when ya scratch it)<br />
It fits perfectly.<br />
Yours fits you, and mine fits me.<br />
When you're sitting down, it folds and looks grand.<br />
And then when you stand, it's where it's been.<br />
Ain't ya glad you've got skin!<br />
When you were just a little baby, why your skin fit fine.<br />
And it still is gonna fit you when you're six foot nine.<br />
So whether you're fat, tall, big, small, chubby or thin,<br />
Ain't ya glad you've got skin
