about

The Skivvies: Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley featuring Brittany Alexandra Campbell

lyrics

A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
Got sand in his face

When kicked to the ground

And soon in the gym

With a determined chin

The sweat from his pores
As he works for his cause
Will make him glisten
And gleam, and with massage
And just a little bit of steam
He'll be pink and quite clean

He'll be a strong man

But the wrong man

He'll eat nutritious, high protein
And swallow raw eggs

Try to build up his shoulders

His chest, arms, and legs

Such an effort

If he only knew of my plan

In just seven days

I can make you a man

He'll do press-ups and chin-ups

Do the snatch, clean, and jerk

Dynamic tension

Sounds like awfully hard work
Such strenuous living

I just don't understand
When in just seven days


I can make you a man
But a deltoid and a bicep
A hot groin and a tricep

Makes me (Ooh!) shake
Makes me wanna take Charles Atlas by the hand
 
In just seven days

I can make you a man


I want no dissension

Just dynamic tension
I’m a muscle fan!
In just seven days
I can make you a man
Dig it, if you can!
In just seven days
I can make you a man
