Skin-Allan Sherman

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