Off Chops - The Dark Side of Tanning Lyrics

Tanning is skin cells in trauma trying to protect themselves from cancer
My fellow Australians, we at Off Chops have a public service announcement, so sit down and listen up
We have come to discuss a serious issue. Two in three Australians will have cancerous tissue
Throughout this song, we will explain a variety of ways to stay sun safe
So look to your right, look to your left, one of you three could die a cancerous death

So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, wear your sunnies and a hat

Whether you're at the cricket or Coogee beach
You've gotta remember your sun cream
The ozone layer's not what it used to be, it's been diminished by CFCs
Now Banana Boat used to say that 30 plus was okay
But the Cancer Council's let us know that 50 plus is the way to go

So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, put some sun cream on your back
So slip slop f*cking slap, wear your sunnies and a hat

Oi

So here's a list of things to do
If the Aussie sun is burning you
Zinc, cream, legionnaires, wear a rashie, grow your hair
Seek shade under trees, go erect a marquee, speedies protect your eyes
Watch the telly, stay inside

There's nothing healthy about a tan
