What am I going to do
For my red opu
It's so very sore I don't know what to do
Listen my little sisters, just look at all my blisters
Let them be a warning to you
Yesterday my steamer docked at half past nine
The sun was shining bright and oh, the weather was fine
So I lay out on the beach 'til it was time to dine
That's how I got my red opu
All the pretty little girls were laying around
Getting a suntan, so I thought I'd get one too
Out on the beach I play my ukulele, getting a suntan
That was not the thing to do
Oh what am I going to do
For my red opu
It's so very sore I don't know what to do
I guess the only way's to spend an hour every day
Just oiling up my red opu
