I Touch Myself
PARODY, laundered-double-entendre album. Write ORIGINAL wholesome lyrics that SOUND suggestive from the title but are LITERALLY and innocently about a public-service reminder to apply your own sunscreen. The joke is that the dirty mind is the listener's — the song itself is clean, catalog-safe (DistroKid/YouTube-safe), G-to-PG. Vintage register to match the era. NEVER reproduce or paraphrase the source song's actual lyrics — only borrow the TITLE energy. Source being parodied: I Touch Myself (1990).
Lyrics
[Intro] The sun is climbing high today The sky is bright and new Before you run outside to play There's one smart thing to do [Verse 1] The experts on the radio They tell you to prepare Protect the skin you love so much With just a moment's care From the tip of my ears to the back of my neck My shoulders and my knees Gotta make sure that I've covered all the ground Before I feel the breeze [Chorus] Oh, I don't want anybody else When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself (Ooooh) I make sure every spot is safe, a creamy little shelf When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself [Verse 2] A little dab of zinc paste Right there upon my nose Beneath my wide-brimmed straw hat That's how the story goes You can't rely on someone else To know just where you need A careful, gentle application A very worthy deed [Chorus] Oh, I don't want anybody else When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself (Ooooh) I make sure every spot is safe, a creamy little shelf When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself [Bridge] It's not about being lonely It's all about being well It's a story that your future self Will be so glad to tell Don't you wait for someone else to guess Just do it on your own It's the wisest little habit That you have ever known [Chorus] Oh, I don't want anybody else When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself (Ooooh) I make sure every spot is safe, a creamy little shelf When I'm thinking 'bout you, I touch myself [Outro] All over now... every single part. Ready for a healthy start.
