I've never bettered this one I don't think. It's one I think I even know off by heart as I've performed it so much!

lyrics

Stuck in a Dress


Have you ever been stuck in a dress?
I have once or twice I must confess
I can think of worse things in which to be compressed
And a silky dress is by far the best

There was one in particular that broke my wee heart
A tunic style number adorned with paisley-like art
It wasn’t very stretchy – it was a size sixteen
A risky endeavour but I was very keen

I fed my arms through, brought it down on my head
And as it slid down my body I felt a sudden dread
I dared not let it fall further or it would surely tear
A sad situation I couldn’t possibly I could bare

I tried not to panic or rip it in rage
After all it was such a pretty cage
How could I be so foolish – from me expect nothing less
How typical of me to get stuck in a dress

You’ll be pleased to note that in time I escaped
With careful wriggling off it scraped
I shook my head sadly surveying the scene
What was I thinking – a size sixteen?

There’s a lesson to be learned I guess
In future I must try my best
To not underestimate the size of my chest
Whilst attempting to don a non-stretchy dress!
