Lyrics

this comes from the one who wear it once
and it is for the one who wear it now

why do you like pulling off my skin
cries out an innocent endagered thing
why do you like showing off my skin
cries out an animal having done no sin

it’s a masterpiece and it’s valuable
this unique ivory cigarette holder
and from the same animal comes
this rare elephant ashtray

and here did you see this
classic elegant three-piece suite
it’s covered with exclusive selected
ranch-raised animal skins

why do you like pulling off my skin
cries out an innocent endagered think
why do you like showing off my skin
cries out an animal having done no sin

and now this model here
with fox-pelt trims and snake-skin buttons
absolute en vogue and perfect with
this beautiful crocodile handbag

and over there
from the top of a jeep I shot him down
during a safari in Africa
a lion’s skin is now a bedside rag

why do you like pulling off my skin
cries out an innocent endagered thing
why do you like showing off my skin
cries out an animal having done no sin
