about

If I played piano... in a bikini... then everybody... well, you get the idea...

lyrics

BIKINI
If I played piano in a bikini, then everybody would be dyin to see me
If I played concerto in just a sombrero, then all of the critics would finally care - Oh
And everyone on earth, would come to my show.
If I played cabasa, looked like Megan Fox-ah, Then I would rock-ah, off a your socks, uh
If I sang soprano if I fake tan-oh, and kissed a guy who looked like Marlon Brando
Then everyone on earth, oh yeah everyone on earth would come to my show...
I’d sell out to cash in, forget myself from back when
Lose forty five pounds, make party rounds.
Tell myself that I found bliss... where did all my happiness... Go.... So
I play piano, for my grandma, pose for pictures with the family camera
But if I played piano in a bikini, then everybody would be dyin to see me
And everyone on earth, oh yeah everyone on earth, everyone... we got the old people, young people, everybody! Everyone on earth would come to my show.
