Mink, seal and ermine smother fat women I have a noble cause for skin-there's just too many of them the only necessary cull-curse the brain inside it's skull just a bitch in the manger to the balances of nature

Chorus:
Cover me with skin and accuse me of sin but you know what I mean
There's just too many of them

Give me your skin for dancing in-hairless and streamline-fits like my own skin tatooed and sun-dyed-it's warm and it's human there was too many of them-the animals like them shame about the smell but they're fine steeped in perfume
