From the recording Tankini Summer
<p>Here's a summer anthem you can sing all year long! It's my story, sad but true...</p>
Lyrics
<p>Last summer I was skinny, I wore a blue bikini</p>
<p>Got lazy, made bad choices, started listening to inner voices saying,</p>
<p>“Go ahead and stuff your face.” Now something’s growing around my waist</p>
<p>Looks like it’s gonna be a...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>The girls on the beach all look like Twiggy</p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>I’m covered up, looking like Miss Piggy</p>
<p>It’s such a bummer, but soon I’ll get on track</p>
<p>With a few more crunches and a lot less snacks,</p>
<p>Next summer that bikini’s coming back</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Friends who’ve gained weight and kept it say they’ve learned to accept it</p>
<p>As part of getting older, roll their eyes and shrug their shoulders but I</p>
<p>Still feel young and can’t abide a midriff that I have to hide</p>
<p>I’m much too vain to have a...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>The girls on the beach all look like Twiggy</p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>I’m covered up, looking like Miss Piggy</p>
<p>It’s such a bummer, but soon I’ll get on track</p>
<p>With a few more crunches and a lot less snacks,</p>
<p>Next summer that bikini’s coming back</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On The View they talked about a survey,</p>
<p>What women shouldn’t wear past a certain age</p>
<p>Bikini swimsuits topped the list; well, that got all the ladies pissed</p>
<p>They said, “This survey isn’t cool ‘cause there are exceptions to every rule”</p>
<p>Like Demi Moore, but that’s a no-brainer; she can afford a Hollywood trainer!</p>
<p> But on the other hand...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the beach there’s oversharing from people in suits that they shouldn’t be wearing</p>
<p>But who am I to judge and what’s the point of even caring?</p>
<p>‘Cause we love the sun, the sea, the shore</p>
<p>So why can’t we love ourselves the way we are</p>
<p>Even if it means we have a...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>‘Cause nobody really looks like Twiggy</p>
<p>Tankini Summer</p>
<p>And who’s more fabulous than Miss Piggy?</p>
<p>It’s such a bummer to fall into that trap</p>
<p>With a few more crunches and a lot less snacks,</p>
<p>Next summer that bikini’s coming back</p>
