***************************************************
[INTRO]
Check it. I represent those freckled and copper
In our race, we got these red-coloured rings
Darks, lights, scarlets
Gingers, amaranths, roses, burnt hues, cardinals
I'm like... all the sunburn stings
All those red alleles
Topped into one hairstyle

[CHORUS]
My-y-y... my skin is ultra-white
I need sun protection from the UV light
Aye, aye, aye... I am the Scottish type
Anaemic complexion, need sun protection

[VERSE 1]
I'm a ginger, son
My hair is like a flickering flame, I feel pain being in the sun
I hate sunlight, cuts me shining like a knife
(I'm a ginger... shunned!)
Like Bozo the Clown, I'm never brown - wear a shirt in the bath
Gotta stay in the shade, sunrays are harsh
No melato-nin, pale as The O-men
Co-nan!
I aint got a soul, skin is full of mel-ano-ma!
Spot fire, crotch pyre of carc-ino-ma!
I'm a hot chilli pepper with this blazing red
God dammit, at least you don't live with Ronald Weasley's head
Slip Slop Slap, rolling on more...
S-P-F
Hereditary, recessive genes fleck my flesh
My doctor might check my freckled specks
Hair is scarlet as blush, I ate too much crust
Curls starting to rust
Got fiery chro-mo-somes
Rosiest hormones, I'm saucier than to-ma-toes
Such harmfulness from sunburn blisters, don a hat
I'm flaming as Van Gogh
My Cherry is Ripe
I'm Orphan Annie, a raggy doll
I don't pass for no strawb'rry blonde
I'm fi-i-i-irecrotch for life, yo
I'm a ginger

[CHORUS]
My-y-y my skin is ultra-white
I need sun protection from the UV light
Aye, aye, aye. I am the Scottish type
Anaemic complexion, need sun protection
My-y-y my skin is ultra-white
I see no reflection, like I'm from Twilight
I-I-I find candles far too bright
Allergic reaction to light refraction

[VERSE 2]
Gingerkid jokes? Cruel
I'm called Chuckie and ranga, swim in no pool
White as chalk, with fiery locks
Call the firetruck... I'm not Blue!
As I bake, flake, ache
Sunburnt til my arms are fried
Fanta pants, a pure
Caucasian and daywalker
Gingers stay indoor
We're not like people from that Jersey Shore
Need more sunblock or we get hot and charred raw
I'll get no child as a sperm clinic donor
Hiding from the break of dawn
Thriving in the cool of night
I can't tan without catching alight

I'm sanguine, see
We navigate the shade of fences, gates and trees
Every purchase I make so 'shadily'
I'm Anne of Green Gables
Pippi Longstocking, reddish, with Hermione Granger

Ginger, my bangs
Totally white flesh
Failing math... can't do trig with no Tan
My Spice Girl suit is slutty
Redder than the wig on Roxanne
Just need a temp'rate zone, suncream and a fan
Guys-mocking-my-chalk-skin?
I'm a ginger

[CHORUS]

[BLACKOUT]
Gosh, this is like,
The least I've stung or felt burnt in my whole life
Stuck in a box of Redheads... hey don't shake it!
No more dyeing or mousses
This place has got no sun
You can't see I'm a freckled sideshow
Can't look at me now!
Holed up in this box instead
No light!
I'm housed inside!
No more blisters
Enter the ginger
We so recessive
Keep your sun deck
I'm safe from cancer
I like shade...

[CHORUS]
