Mannequin, mannequin,
Wouldn't it be great
to trade my body in
for a perfect Size 8!
Mannequin, mannequin,
wouldn't it be cool
to be perfectly dressed,

to have a pain-free back
and uncalloused feet!
Mannequin, mannequin,
what would I do,
given the chance
to be like you?
The answer is easy.
I'd quit the first day.
The price of perfection
is too much to pay.

So slender, so sleek
Inanimate, yet taunting me
I'll never be chic
She stands there immobile
Frozen in time
