Since everybody wants to know
What lies beneath my smileI'm finally going to tell you
What's been secret for a while
The eggs I had for breakfast
They have given me some gas
I know it will be toxic
So I'm hoping it might pass
My underwire push-up bra
To make my chest seem higher
Is sticking in my armpit
And it feels like it's on fire
I'm wearing a new corset
With a scratchy woolen sash
I think that I'm allergic
'Cause it's giving me a rash
I dressed in such a hurry
There's a layer I may have missed
And now I have a wedgie
Got my knickers in a twist
The fastenings on my undies
Have got such an awkward catch
They're tickly and itchy
How I'd love to take a scratch
And there is also one more thing
I think that you should know
I have a tiny bladder
And I really have to go
What's private is now public
You now know what lies beneath
And each and every reason that
I smile and grit my teeth
