lyrics

There's a wonderful invention
That I've grown to know and love
It comes in all shades of ugly
And it fits just like a glove
And without it I can't charleston
Without getting 2 black eyes
I know because I've tried
Oh it's the sports bra
I can't dance without a sports bra
Do prancercise without a sports bra
Cos I can't run
Run to the bun shop
Sports bra, it's not elegant
But having breasts can be an impediment
And life's too short for standing still.
Life's too short to wash your whites
You better let them all go grey
Life's too short to shave your bits
When the people that love you
Love you anyway
Life's too short to get uptight about
Pointless bullshit.
Life's too short so dance like a twit.

You mike like to charleston or lindyhop
You might be good at ballroom
Waltz, swing-jive, tango or foxtrot
You might like to pogo or fight in the mosh pit
Life's too short
So dance like a twit.

You might like to tap-dance
Or dance like a goth
Wave your arms around in the air
And look pissed off
You might be quite good at it
Or you might be quite shit
Life's too short so dance like a twit.
