We've got this mirror in the hall,

I don't use it much at all.

Maybe once or twice a day,

If I'm passing by that way.

I just check I'm well presented,

That's why mirrors were invented.

It's important to look good,

My mother always said I should.

My hair is soft and brushed in place,

There are no age lines on my face.

My eyes are soft and both in line,

My nose is regal, aquiline.

My body's lithe and really sleek,

I've got the curves that most boys seek.

I know how to swing my hips,

And run my tongue across my lips.

But I'm not perfect, that I know,

And it gets worse each month I grow.

I've got these spots upon my face,

And almost every other place.

They're on my back, and on my bum,

And even on my nose there's some.

It fills me full of deep frustration,

Who'd want to be a girl Dalmatian.
