Lyrics Allan Sherman

Allan Sherman

My Aunt Minnie

My Aunt Minnie bought a mini-skirt,

A mini-skirt,

A mini-skirt.

She's too skinny for a mini-skirt.

Such a skinny creature

Shouldn't feature such a feature

But my old Aunt Minnie bought a mini-skirt

And all the fellas flirt.

Everybody's wise

To my Aunt Minnie's thighs

In her crazy mini-skirt.

She's thinking young,

She's thinking young.

She's thinking younger than the youngsters she's among.

She's really cool, she's hip,

A gas, a trip.

She's the inspiration

For the Pepsi generation.

And she popped up later at a pop art show

A pop art show,

A pop art show.

What's she doin' at a pop art show?

Trading her Utrillo

For a plastic box of Brillo

For a painting of a can of lentil soup

She traded her Van Gogh

Then she took all her pop

And traded it for op

At that crazy pop art show.

She's thinking young,

She's thinking young.

She's thinking younger than the youngsters she's among.

She's really cool, she's hip,

A gas, a trip.

She went to a happening

(And didn't know what's happening.)

And then she go-goed at a discotheque,

A discotheque,

A discotheque.

Uncle Morris was a nervous wreck.

Poor old Uncle Morris

Only lasted half a chorus.

But when Minnie go-goed at that discotheque,

The kids picked up her check.

Why they could hardly look

At how Aunt Minnie shook.

First they saw her do

Her wicked boogaloo,

And then they saw her swing

Her shaky shing-a-ling

At that crazy discotheque.
