The Lyrics

The tattoos are tacky--must go.
They cannot be sedately shown.
Laserin' skin expunges tattoos.

There's this one, of a yacht,
Got it when I tied sailors' knots.
I have got to expunge these tattoos.

Lave me, lave me lave me, lave me, please!
Take off this great big "Momma"; it's garish to see.
Make a tabula rasa of me.
Clean me palimpsestically.*
Laserin' skin expunges tattoos.
Almost scrubbin' time.

My old girlfriend's name's on my arm
Next to a biceps-swayin' palm.
Here's what's entailed by drunken tomfoolery.
I had it etched in here
After I'd sipped too much beer
Now I've got to expunge these tattoos.

Help me, help me, help me--lase away
They're simply too displeasing--don't want them to stay.
Scrub me clean, please, epidermally
These beams clean hygienically.
Lase me, lave me, expunge these tattoos.
Now it's scrubbin' time. . . .


*palimpsest: parchment that has been partially or complete erased.
