The Lyrics

©2011 by Michael McVey; original ©1974 by Gordon Lightfoot
Your skin is as red as your evening dress,
You oughtta get to know the letters S, P and F.
Sunburn! You better take care,
If you get melanoma, you won’t wanna go bare. (2x)

There are burns on her back that are second-degree,
But her tummy is as pale as the skin of a Swede.
Sunburn! Wanna hide from the men,
But you still should turn over every now and then. (2x)

You have blistered every part that the sun can bake,
Putting beauty over health was your first mistake
Sunburn! You better take care,
If it’s found you have cancer, that’s a terrible scare!
Sunburn! You better take care,
You will ruin all your skin, your complexion’s too fair.

I can see you walking fast to the tanning machine,
Once a good-looking woman, now you’re freckles and cream!
Sometimes I think it’s a shame,
The things that you’ll do just for beauty and fame.
Sunburn! I think it’s a shame,
Just to look like the models you’ll endure so much pain.
Sometimes I think it’s a sin,
When you feel like you’re tanning when you’re burning again!
I was badly sunburned when I wrote this!

As white boys go, I'm whiter than most. Some people say I look just like a ghost. Is it because I'm Irish? Hell if I know. Maybe I'm just part albino. I go out in the sun till my face turns red. Next day all my skin starts to shed.
