It's My Skin by Jeff Holman published on 2020-01-04T01:42:32Z IT'S MY SKIN Lyrics I had just been born a couple hours ago a healthy seven-pound baby boy I knew I was my mama's pride and joy Then all at once I felt such apprehension Could there be something they forgot to mention? The doctor, he came in he had an evil grin he said that it was time to commit an awful crime I had no choice, I raised my voice I turned to him and said: It's my skin, not your skin please don't remove my foreskin this circumcision thing is just a scam if you cut my foreskin I'm bound to have a sore skin get out of here and leave me as I am I'm bound to be shriekin' I don't think we'll be speakin' if you get out that knife and start to hack This plan I'm rejecting and frankly I'm suspecting my rubber ducky's not the only quack It's my skin, not your skin Have pity on my poor skin Oh why must you go on this cutting spree? I'm perfect, you see me and perfect is my wee-wee Get out of here and kindly let me be You really should thank me I didn't hit you when you spanked me Your evil plan I should have guessed back then Just give me an answer I ask you man to man, sir why tamper with the thing that makes us men? If I knew that this would happen I'd have just continued nappin' peacefully inside my mother's womb It's a medieval custom Doctors you can never trust em Mom might say yes, but don't you let her Don't say you'll kiss and make it better Leave it alone It is my own It's my skin, not your skin This plan I’m not endorsin' You must be some kind of maniac or are you just jealous of all us little fellas cause we are born with something that you lack? They thought if you hacked us it might prevent a practice that people say can make a boy go blind But there's nothing to that We little boys still do that and doctor even you can see just fine (Instrumental) Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
