Pouring My Own Ketchup

This frigid weather is getting me down Was planning to sunbathe today Perhaps I won't with temps in the minus Skin freezes in 30 seconds they say Maybe it's better if I wait 3 or 4 months Sunburn is better than freezer burn Besides my bikini would go all the way up To my nipples as to purple they'd turn I'm Canadian eh! So what's all the fuss Used to go out in my jockeys When it'd get down to the minus twenties But I'm no longer young and cocky With some guys it takes a wee bit longer For their brains to fully develop Eighty-eight soon so I'm looking forward To finally pouring my own ketchup
