The Lyrics
Not Q from Bond, nor of Star Trek TNG, but the Q-tips!
Origin Q,
1920s,
Toothpicks with cotton met a need
Polish immigrant touch,
"Baby Gays"* were so much more improved,
Better than hairpins and dry cloth use!
Origin Q,
Stands for Quality,
Tips soaked in boric** for safety
Still used as such,
So what if doctors don't approve,
Ears, eyes, make-up, nose, gums for use
(And DNA swabbing)

Still used as such,
So what if doctors don't approve,

* 1926 were known as Baby Gays meaning happy babies. The swabs helped with ear wax, nose boogers, sensitive gums, eye gunk, etc...
** Boric acid sterilized the cotton tips
