SKIN

SKIN

by

The cat has a lovely fur jacket

The cow has a leather jerkin

The sheep has a thick woolly jumper

But we have got nothing but skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

On the very last day of creation

Nature had emptied her bin

She ran out of clothes for us creatures

So she turned us all out in our skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

We were last in the queue at creation

The others all did very well

The birds commandeered all the feathers

And the tortoise flew off with the shell

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

The leathers and hides of the others

Are far more effective than skin

It doesn´t protect you from the weather

But it´s handy for keeping you in

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin is quite good for complexion

It´s handy if you wish to blush

So please treat your skin with affection

Without it, you’re nothing but mush

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin

Skin, skin, skin, skin

Nothing but skinny skin skin, skin skin
