Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu Strand Bikini [English translation]

On a Florida beach she went for a walk

And what she wore shouldn't have disturbed nobody

Just a lonely posh old lady

Almost fainted and was very disgusted

(Eight, nine, ten, well, what was to be seen there?)

[Chorus:]

It was her Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu Beach Bikini

It was sharp and it was so modern

Her Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Honolulu Beach Bikini

Was very popular especially with the gents

(One, two, three, well, what was so bad about it?)

The caballeros at the Copacabana

They kept following her around

She ran away and ran scared into the water

She almost drowned in the sea

(Eight, nine, ten, well, what was to be seen there?)

[Chorus]

Well, in Venice it was the Viennale season

A photographer thought she was a star

But everybody later read in the paper

That it was her bikini that made her look like one

(Eight, nine, ten, well, what was to be seen there?)

[Chorus]

So she pulled on her bikini

The one she couldn't wear anywhere else

Just all by herself at home

And wore it in her bathtub

Aaaw ....
