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 bitsy teenie weenie
Yellow polka dot bikini
So in the locker she wanted to stay
Two, three, four
Stick around, we'll tell you 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 bitsy teenie weenie
Yellow polka dot bikini
So in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two, three, four
Stick around, we'll tell you 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 turning 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 bitsy teenie weenie
Tellow 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
