The Lyrics
Just a little shout out to those sun lovin' gals (and guys) out there...
One day
When I'm rather old
Regrets may unfold
Tanning takes its toll--but what can I do?
I hate when my legs look white
I feel so lovely
When the sun is warm
I rub in some oil
Don't want SPF--no butter will do
Can't have my face looking white
With each ray
The likeliness grows
That cancer cells will start
Though this tan
May cost me my nose
I've got to do my part
Sunshine
I can't stand the shade
So on cloudy days
I'll pay for a bed so I don't feel blue
And so I am never white
Just as long as I'm not white
When I'm rather old
Regrets may unfold
Tanning takes its toll--but what can I do?
I hate when my legs look white
I feel so lovely
When the sun is warm
I rub in some oil
Don't want SPF--no butter will do
Can't have my face looking white
With each ray
The likeliness grows
That cancer cells will start
Though this tan
May cost me my nose
I've got to do my part
Sunshine
I can't stand the shade
So on cloudy days
I'll pay for a bed so I don't feel blue
And so I am never white
Just as long as I'm not white

"Though this tan may cost me my nose"...I may have to dump you if you're nasally challenged :-).....Another insightful, whimsical slice of Arwen magic. 555
Not only is it funny it's a great PSA (Public Service Announcement) too! Great job Arwen!
Tanning beds, there's a burning issue! Nice job, Arwen! 5s.
And I wouldn't blame you, Kristof! While my face is enormously adorable...I don't know how far I would get without my perfect, non cancerous nose...And Cookie-man...it would be a totally hypocritical PSA...as I am a huge fan of the sunshine...and a little golden color...(I use the sunscreen in moderation)...HUGE thanks to both of you!!!
I swear your comment wasn't there when I wrote my thanks, Rod! Thanks so much!!!
And she does it again! Great job! 555
Thanks a bunch, Ashkicksass!
