The Lyrics
She loves her
Nail-polish trim.
But she don't love nothing else. . .
Enamel skin.
So on it goes
Till completely dried.
'twixt toes, cotton puffs
Help keep the digits pried.
She'll have no blue;
Deep reds are for finks!
One hue's for sure:
Lush pinks,
Nails, nails.
Lush pinks,
Nails, nails.
Blue eschew, a snide deride.
Lush is a toned-down vermillion
Thickly applied.
She's at the mall;
She buys them all.
Can't wait to try
"Fussy* Galore®."
She don't care for any carmine-ochre thing.
All she'll pay for is:
Lush pinks,
Sales, sales.
Lush pinks,
Sales, sales.
She's been through violets. . .
Thinks purple stinks.
For just one she falls:
Lush pinks,
Nails, nails.
Lush pinks,
Sales, sales.
*Fuss: German for foot

Prolific you probably wrote this colorful ditty using just your pinkies... Five shades of groovy, John, well, except for "Fussy* Galore®"... I just can't go there...
this was...well....fussy galore !
Why Pirate Jack, how did thou knowst that my Pinkies blink in ' pink ' only ? ?
Clever rewrite
A dilly of a parody. Which begs the question, what's up next? Lavender Blue"? :-)
I own various Shades of "Lush Pink" Nail Polish: Hot Pink, Pink-ing of You, Marvelous Pink, Carnation Pink, Pinky Swear, Think Pink, and Cinematic Pink. In the words of Julia Roberts from Steel Magnolias, "Pink is my signature color." Just now I did my nails and I have on the color Cinematic Pink. (I blow my nails dry). Wow, so pretty! You sure had tickled me pink with your parody! 555!!!
