Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-Dot Bikini

 Brian Hyland

 Written by Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss

 

 Peaked at # 1 in 1960

 Co-songwriter Paul Vance was inspired to write this song after seeing his
2-year old daughter

 Paula play at the beach in her bathing suit. Later featured in the 1962 comedy
film One, Two,

 Three, starring Jimmy Cagney & Arlene Francis, with the Russians using the
song to try to

 torture

 a suspected spy.

 

 She was afraid to come out of the locker

 She was as nervous as she could be

 She was afraid to come out of the locker

 She was afraid that somebody would see

 (Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore)

 

 It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 That she wore for the first time today

 An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 So in the locker she wanted to stay

 (Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell ya more)

 

 She was afraid to come out in the open

 And so a blanket around her she wore

 She was afraid to come out in the open

 And so she sat bundled up on the shore

 (Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore)

 

 It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 That she wore for the first time today

 An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 So in the blanket she wanted to stay

 (Two, three, four, stick around we'll tell ya more)

 

 Now she's afraid to come of the water

 And I wonder what she's gonna do

 Now she's afraid to come out of the water

 And the poor little girl's turnin' blue

 (Two, three, four, tell the people what she wore)

 

 It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 That she wore for the first time today

 An itsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini

 So in the water she wanted to stay

 

 (From the locker to the blanket)

 (From the blanket to the shore)

 (From the shore to the water)

 Guess there isn't any more
