Unskinny Bop

 (for Bret Michaels)

In Dairylea-smelling bedrooms,

we wore out our cassette singles

of Poison singing 'Unskinny Bop'.

We wore our long coats around town

but they trailed in all the dog muck.

Now I feel like cryin'.

Inside I'm dyin',

but you can't see

behind the makeup.

Poison - now, there was a band!
There WAS a band called Poison.
You can't deny it.
