There's a lovely old woman named Rose
Who vacations without wearing clothes
Because when summer's the hottest
It's a chore to be modest
And she's cooler when everything shows

Some folks believe being publicly nude
Is indecent, titillating, or lewd
But that's only true
If you're someone who
Thinks that's how your body is viewed

We are created in the image of God
So how can anyone feel odd
At the display of that skin
Which God clothed them within
At whose form and function I'm awed

Some confuse Nudity with Sex
In our culture, one often expects
That seeing an unclothed form
Means intercourse is the norm
But with practice this defect corrects

Take off your clothes and be free
Then you can go swimming with me
And feel the sun on your face
As well as a once-shady place
That you've chosen to let the world see
