Vanity

Vanity, the latest trick Standing there with your selfie stick Clamping your mobile phone For your egotistic picture clone Lets take a close look at lady Lou Which are the real parts of you From top to bottom, seeking attentions Beginning with your hair extensions Which are the same colour as your hair Although now chestnut once was fair Beautiful eyes to attract boyfriends That will be those contact lens Eye lashes, long and slick Eyebrows plucked or painted slick Mascara, toner, eye shadow, lipstick False beauty, that will do the trick Padded bra, protruding breasts Look at me, it all suggests Finger nails long and sleek Very perfect, very chic Toe nails painted different shades Glitter sprinkled of different grades Your body sprayed California tan That will help you get your man What when he sees you in the nude Thinking, this is not the girl I wooed So cast away, the unreal you You may find a love that’s true Cast away that selfie stick You will find true love, take your pick
