it was hot and humid weather kids were finally out of school
but there on the ballcourt stood mister victor woo
he practiced all summer at the ymca
ready to rumble til he heard someone say
“shirts n’ skins ! yeah shirts n’ skins”
“shirts n’ skins ?” shirts and skins
so victor got picked to play on the team of the skins
he took off his shirt his body looking real thin
all the boys chuckled all the girls laughed
“look, look, look at all those pimples on his back”
“shirts n’ skins ! yeah shirts n’ skins”
who really wins when you play shirts and skins
victor didn’t care which side was gonna win
all victor felt were fingers pointing at him
all he wanted was to put his shirt back on
humiliated devastated his confidence was gone
i wish i had muscles wish i had a 6 pack
instead i got pimples all over my back
as expected victor blew every open layup
and then he threw his arms up and yelled “i fuckin’ give up”
and when the game ended he swore he’d never play again
until he got a bigger body, until he had some better skin
“shirts n’ skins ! yeah shirts n’ skins”
who really wins when you play shirts and skins
