I came from Boy Scout camps that did lots of singing around the campfire.  That old favorite, "Pink Pajamas," apparently started in Girl Scout camps, and then spread to the boys.  It had only one verse and a chorus that I knew of.  So I wrote some additional verses appropriate for the philosophy of this [naturist] camp.  It is sung to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," with some extra notes added to the last lines of each verse.

Pink Pajamas
(verses 2-5 by Paul LeValley)

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot,
I wear my long red flannels in the winter when it's not.
And sometimes in the springtime,
And sometimes in the fall,
I jump right in between the sheets with nothing on at all.
Whee!

Chorus
Glory, glory, what's it to ya?
Balmy breezes blowin' through ya.
Glory, glory, what's it to ya?
With nothing on at all.

I use my black umbrella in the summer when it's hot.
I use my yellow raincoat in the winter when it's not.
And sometimes in the springtime,
And sometimes in the fall,
I go right out and splash around with nothing on at all.
Whee!

(Chorus)

I got a tan in summertime that left my butt all white.
I stayed inside that winter till my parts all matched just right.
Then early in the springtime,
And straight through till the fall,
I went right out and got my tan with nothing on at all.
Whee!

(Chorus)

Grandpa went a-swimming with his chest all covered up.
Mamma's new bikini seemed real bold to her and Pop.
But great-grandma before that,
And great-great-grandpas all,
They jumped right in the water wearing nothing on at all.
Whee!

(Chorus)

So let the preacher tell me I should cover up with rags.
And let the politician talk of freedom, wrapped in flags.
I'm part of holy nature—
The freest one of all—
When I am walking through the woods with nothing on at all.
Whee!

(Chorus)
