Simply Gorgeous - NOT
My doc said that I have some sun damaged skin
He gave me some cream that I had to rub in
Just once a day for twenty eight days
My face is now changing in so many ways
In week one I thought it was not doing much
In week two I found my face sticky to touch
In week three I saw angry rashes appear
In week four the whole process stepped up a gear
There in the mirror, it could be an error
But have I turned into the Trollenberg Terror?
It’s itchy as hell and my skin won’t behave
I’ll have to be brave because I need to shave
Did I scrape my skin off, am I bleeding out
If I were a lady, I doubt I could pout
My skin is on fire, I’ve got a chapped nose
I pray for chapped lips, I’m okay with those
But I read the leaflet and Googled online
And everything told me that soon I’ll be fine
“The worse that it gets then the better it works.”
I’ll live with the giggles from passerby jerks
It’s day twenty-eight and I’m rubbing it in
I look like a monster as it heals my skin
I’m slapping that cream on for all I am worth
To make me the most gorgeous man on this Earth
