Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: You need skin. (Leon Rosselso From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Jun 01 - 12:31 PM While we're on the subject-- Back in the 60's, Allan Sherman recorded a song called "You Gotta Have Skin," a parody of the pop song, "You Gotta Have Heart." It's in DT. The concept is strikingly similar. |

Subject: Lyr Add: YOU NEED SKIN (Leon Rosselson) From: The Borchester Echo Date: 08 Nov 03 - 07:23 AM You Need Skin by Leon Rosselson: (refrain) You need skin, take good care of it Don't harm a hair of it What would we do without it Keep it clean, soapy water every day Will wash the dirt and smells away 'Cos you need skin Whether you're fat or whether you're thin It keeps the germs from crawling in Whether you're skinny or whether you're stout It keeps the blood from trickling out Whether you're black or whether you're brown It keeps you're tummy from tumbling down Whether you're silly or whether you're smart It keeps your bones from falling apart Whether you're dark or whether you're fair Skin's the thing for growing hair It's waterproof in rainy weather And keeps the bits of your body together |

Subject: Lyr Add: SKIN (Allan Sherman) From: Nigel Parsons Date: 08 Nov 03 - 09:44 AM It doesn't help with the original request, but it made me think of SKIN - words by Allan Sherman parody of HEART Written by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross © 1955 (Renewed 1983) Lakshmi Puja Ltd./J & J Ross Music c/o The Songwriters Guild of America (ASCAP) You've 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 you hang your clothes Skin is what you 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 folds It's convenient when they itch Nothing can match it when you 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 you've been Ain't you glad you got skin? When you were just a little baby Well your skin fit fine And it's still going to fit you When you're 6 foot 9 So whether you're fat, tall Big, small, chubby or thin Ain't you glad you got skin?
