What Can You Give A Nudist For His Birthday

Oh dear, I am worried
I know I’m laughin' really, but I am worried
It’s my brother’s birthday and I don’t know what to buy him, oh dear
Can I ask you a question, a question that’s silly?
It’s something I can’t figure out, I hope you won’t say no
It’s all about my brother, my brother, John Willy
He’s joined a nudist colony, so what I want to know
What can you buy a nudist on his birthday, birthday?
What sought of birthday present can you buy?
I can’t think what to give him, no matter how I try
Do you think he would be allowed to wear his old school tie?
What can you give a nudist for a present?
The things I used to buy him would be wrong
I’d send a cheque but dash it, how could he go out and cash it
What can you give a nudist when his birthday comes along?
What can you give a nudist for his birthday?
What sought of birthday present can you buy?
I bought a pair of braces, just like a silly pup
But what’s the good of braces if there’s nought wants holdin' up?
What can you give a nudist for a present?
I’m sure a bowler hat would be all wrong
And he’s not the kind of fella who would need an umbrella
Oh what can you give a nudist when his birthday comes along, oh dear-dear?
I’ve been in holy terror the time they
I did think of a camera but snapshots are taboo
A bicycle sounds stupid when you’re dressed up like Cupid
I must send something soon, and oh, that’s why I’m askin' you
What can you give a nudist on his birthday?
What sought of birthday present can you buy?
And here’s another riddle, but give it up I won’t
When at a dance, do they wear fancy dress or do they don’t?
What can you give a nudist for a present?
I somehow think that cuff links would be wrong
And a watch chain would look silly draped across the front of Willy
What can you give a?
What can you give a nudist on his birthday?
What sought of birthday present can you buy?
I have heard that they play hockey, so something I have got
But I don’t know for certain if they wear shin guards or not
What can you give a nudist for a present?
A shop girl told me spats would be all wrong
She said good gracious madam, just imagine spats on Adam
What can you give a nudist when his birthday comes along
Oh dear-dear, what can I buy, no let’s be, really there is, no honest,
what can I buy
A lump of soap
A lump of soap, oh that’s a good idea, a lump of soap
And he’s always smoky too, that’s good, thank you very much
