Not Doris Day's Armpits
(to the tune of Que sera sera)
When I was only 12 years old,
I shaved my armpits
bare as can be.
Will I be sexy?
Will I be fit?
Here's what they said to me:
'Oh the itch the itch!
Whatever possessed you, bitch,
to bulk-buy a load of Bics.
Oh the itch the itch'
When I grew up I carried on
hacking my arm pits
week after week.
Did it get better?
Did it hurt less?
Here's what they said to me:
'Oh pit hair pit hair,
we wish you were thick as fur.
We wish you had curly hair.
Oh pit hair pit hair'
Now I am grown and blades have gone,
so has my pit rash
and that mad itch.
Now I am furry.
Now I am sleek.
Here's how it makes me feel:
Oh pit hair pit hair,
you make people stop and stare,
you're sexy cos you don't care.
Oh pit hair pit hair.

Or relate to a girl. Either way Hannah, yes, it's a very difficult time. We succumb really early to the social pressure, and it took me years to break free. So glad you enjoyed it ?
