[Verse 1]
Am D7 G G7 G F# E
You've gotta have skin, all you really need is skin
E E7 Am D7 G G7
Skin's the thing that if you got it outside, it helps keep your insides in
[Verse 2]
Am D7 G G7 G F# E
It covers your nose, and it's wrapped around your toes
E E7 Am D7 G G7
And inside it you put lemon meringue, and outside ya hang your clothes
[Bridge]
Dm G C C7
Skin is what you feel at home in, and without it, furthermore,
Em A A7 D7
Both your liver and abdomen, would keep falling on the floor, and you'd be
dressed in your intestine
[Verse 3]
Am D7 G G7 G F# E
A Siamese twin, needs an extra set of skin
E E7 Am D7
When the doctor knows that you're feeling sick, where does he stick his
G G7 Am G
needle in? in the end of your skin
[Bridge]
Dm G C C7
All your friends and all your kinfolks, whether poor or whether rich,
Em A A7 D7
They have all got lots of skin folks, it's convenient when they itch, nothing
can match it when you scratch it
[Verse 4]
Am D7 G G7 G F# E
It fits perfectly, yours fits you and mine fits me
E E7 Am D7
When you're sitting down, it folds and looks grand and then when you stand,
G G7
it's where it's been
[Outro]
C C7 F
When you were just a little baby, why your skin fit fine, and it still is
D7
gonna fit you when you're 6 foot 9
G E7 Am D7
So whether you're fat, tall, big, small, chubby or thin, ain't you glad
G
you've got skin!
