SARAH PIPKIN'S PIMPLE

written by Davy Gallant and Michelle Campagne

The recital was just lovely

Everyone in town was there

There were bow ties, there were crepe linens

And music in the air

And the orchestra was brilliant 

And the thing that sole the show

Was the bloated round protrusion

On a little Pipkin nose

Have you seen it?

Have you set your eyes upon it

It is hideously bulbous

No, it's not a pretty dimple

Have you seen it?

It is really quite amazing

Have you spotted little Sarah Pipkin's pimple

"It won't last"  her mother said

"I want it gone now" Sarah hissed

So they made a quick appointment 

With the dermatologist

As the doctor poked and prodded he said

"What do we have here?"

Well, the pimple simply stated

"I'm a zit, that much is clear"

It could talk, it was prodigious

And its face was kind of cute

And its views on global issues

Were astoundingly astute 

So the TV crews descended

People came from miles around

And the postulate protuberance

Soon became world renowned

Have you seen it?

Have you set your eyes upon it

It is hideously bulbous

No, it's not a pretty dimple

Have you seen it?

It is really quite amazing

Have you spotted little Sarah Pipkin's pimple

Everybody loved it

"It's grotesque" some did say

It simply stated "you would not say that

Had you've been born this way"

But its word were so enlightening

They were noted quote for quote

Then one day it simply vanished

And it left a farewell no-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ote:

Adieu, adieu my dear admirers

You've been great, you filled my cup

But there's a time and a place for everything

And, well, my time is up!

But I hope you've learned a lesson

From this [mulatto-rant?] mound

That in every living creature

There is beauty to be found

Have you seen it?

Have you set your eyes upon it

It was clever, it sang show tunes

 Its message was quiite simple

Have you seen it?

It is really quite amazing

We will never forget Sarah Pipkin's pimple

We will never forget Sarah Pipkin's pimple
