lyrics

Let’s see if we can explain it
You and I have a coat of armour
That protects our bodies from the outside world
It’s our skin

We wash it with soap and water, why?
Well there’s a special reason
Look at your skin through a magnifying glass
It looks like it’s full of tiny holes doesn’t it?

These holes are called pores
But did you know that you really have two skins?
The one you see is the outer skin
It’s the toughest part of this coat of armour

Underneath it is another layer, the inner skin
Underneath this is a layer of fat
In this fatty layer are sweat glands
Lots of them all over your body

There are special kinds of sweat glands under your arms
And other parts of your skin
These glands have little ducts to carry the sweat or perspiration
To the outside air

Most of the time the sweat dries as fast as it comes out
But sometimes it collects into little drops
The air dries this sweat and that’s what helps you keep cool
Every hair grows from a tiny root

These roots are in the fatty layer too
Around the hairs and other parts of the skin are oil glands
They open on the outer skin like the sweat glands
These openings are some of the pores you can see in your skin

The oil made in these glands spreads over your skin
And helps to keep it soft
When you get dirty, the dirt sticks in this oil
Germs do too, you can’t get them off with plain water

To get off this mixture of oil dirt and germs
You have to use soap
