Big Knickers
The background to Big Knickers

An unexpected downside to motherhood that no-one mentions! The song is set as a Charleston, which we danced during the piano section in the middle. Onstage we wore knee-length knickerbockers, having discovered that there are different perceptions as to what constitutes “big” knickers - and we didn’t want to risk inadvertently insulting anyone!
Big Knickers - the lyrics

When I was a girl I never dreamed that I would end up like this
Wearing big knickers.
No way!
Post pregnancy bump left me a jelly belly that overhangs
Needing big knickers like my Granny and Mum

When I think what I used to wear
Don’t go there.  Now I despair.  Try not to care
It’s rare  That I dare  To bare
Life’s so unfair

When I was a girl I never dreamed …

Why’m I still too wide for my height?
Cellulite.  Oh what a sight.  Jeans are too tight.
My plight – what a fight.  So trite,
Try as I might.

No way!

When I was a girl I never dreamed …

When I think how I used to flirt
Body pert.  Once extrovert.  Sex a dead cert.
Loose skirt.  Introvert.  Long shirt.
All eyes avert

When I was a girl I never dreamed …

Still want to wear my old crop top
Oh please stop.  I want to swap.  Try not to flop
Size drop  Muffin top  Oops pop
I want to strop

No way! No way!

I fancy these ones…
Optimistic …

What memories …
Naughty
If only …

What’s the point of this?
Which way round are they?  Oof!
There are dolls with bottoms bigger than that!

I used to have a pair like this.
Did they ever fit?
Don’t know … I never wore them.  Only bought them for show - to put on the washing line!
You never cease to amaze me!

I long to wear a tiny thong
That’s just wrong.  Gusset will pong.  ‘Lastic’s too strong
G string   Oh please   Have a fling   Ding dong
Hear our new song

Probably should wear a girdle
God! How that makes my blood curdle
That would be the final hurdle

VPL Want to yell
My arse  What a farce
Hundred per cent cotton  Makes me feel rotten
Now what would be ace is wearing all lace …….

Imagine his face!
Imagine his face!

No way! No way!

Post pregnancy bump left me a jelly belly that overhangs
Needing big knickers like my Granny and Mum

No way! No way!
