about

The badonkadonk song! Probably the rockiest tune on the album, this track features crunchy guitars, big horn lines and lyrics that encourage self respect and body positivity

lyrics

Maria hates her bum and Jill can’t stand her thighs
Kelly wishes for a smaller belly and Keisha wants blue eyes
Jake thinks he could lose a few and Nathan wants more hair
Russel’s lookin’ for bigger muscles John thinks his skin’s too fair

Come on people, break your mirrors
You’ll have some peace for seven years
Give up the fight you’ll never win
It’s time to love the skin you’re in

The skin you’re in is yours alone
It’s yours to love and its yours to scorn
It’s been with you since you were born
It’ll be with you when you’re old and worn
Na na na na na na

Love the junk in your trunk, love the wiggle in your walk
Love the donk in your badonkadonk love the music in your talk
Love the knock in your knees love the colour of your eyes
Love the gap in your teeth love the thunder in your thighs

Come on people, break your mirrors
You’ll have some peace for seven years
Give up the fight you’ll never win
It’s time to love the skin you’re in

The skin you’re in is yours alone
It’s yours to love and its yours to scorn
It’s been with you since you were born
It’ll be with you when you’re old and worn
Na na na na na na

Come on people break your mirrors
You'll have some peace for seven years
Give up the fight you cannot win
You've got to love the skin you're in

Come on people break your mirrors
You'll have some peace for seven years
Give up the fight you cannot win
You've got to love the skin you're in

Pierce it, ink it, stretch it, shrink it just love the skin you’re in
Tan it, dress it, smack it, caress it just love love love the skin you’re in
Paint it, sooth it, scratch it, smooth it and love the skin you’re in
Pinch it, flick it, slap it and lick it just love the skin you’re in
