Over Exposed

Vs 1

When I was a lad, crawling on the floor

I was wearing a wet nappy which got caught on a door

I pulled and I tugged, with all my might

Then something happened which was going to haunt me all my life

Well they went ping as they stuck into my skin

I let out a yell but my parents just grinned

CH 1

Well the pins popped off – and the nappy went down

The folds unfolded and it fell to the ground

I never intended to be so exposed

To cause red faces or feel the wind blow below – below!

Vs 2

When I went to school, to learn the golden rule

I tried to be a good boy and not to seem such a fool

I sat in front of Polly. She was a pretty girl

I liked her a lot and she had a pretty curl

The teacher to quiz me asked me to stand

And as I stood in front of Polly, it all began…

CH 2

Well the buttons popped off! And the zip went down

And the braces gave up, and they fell to the ground

I never intended to be so exposed

To cause red faces or feel the wind blow below – below!

Vs 3

When I was a teenager, I was playing sport

I got pretty good at the local tennis court

Until one day at the district tournament

When the winning volley down I sent

I straddled the net in a victory leap

But the crowd started laughing when ·I hit my feet

Ch 3

Well the button popped off and the zip went down

And the braces gave up and they fell to the ground

I never intended to be so exposed

To cause red faces or feel the wind blow below – below!

V.s 4

Well I grew to be a man and I met a pretty lass

I courted her and wed her at the local Sunday mass

And when, that night, we prepared for bed

“I think I’d like to see what sort of catch I’ve caught” she said

Well I stood to my full height and as if right on cue

It finally happened when I wanted it to!

CH 4

Well the buttons popped off! And the zip went down

And the braces gave up and they fell to the ground

She smiled with delight at me being so exposed

She said “Come and love me underneath the blankets here below,…

Below – below – below – below!
