Lionel's Tanning Guide

girl it ain't that hard
easy as Sunday morning,
begin when temperatures
rise above goose bumps,
get your base before summer's rays
leave you dancing on the ceiling
going through the roof
with each touch and movement

You can be a brick house
sightly, sightly, prancing all about
belonging on the golden sand,
not some alabaster doll
pinking out and barbecuing

build your base, rub in fifteen
spend your daze under the rays
picking up a shade a day,
just a base put in place
foundation to party all night long,
just listen to your Commodore
