Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the blanket she wanted to stay
She was afraid to come out of the locker
she was as nervous as she could be
she was afraid to come out of the locker
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two three four
stick around we'll tell you more
She was afraid to come out in the open
so a blanket around her she wore
she was afraid to come out in the open
and so she sat bundled up on the shore
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the blanket she wanted to stay
Two three four
stick around we'll tell you more
Now shes afraid to come out of the water
and I wonder what she's gonna do
now she's afraid to come out of the water
and the poor little girl's turning blue
Two three four
tell the people what she wore
It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the water she wanted to stay
From the locker to the blanket
from the blanket to the shore
from the shore to the water
yes there isn't any more
The song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" by Party Hardy reflects on the anxiety of wearing a revealing swimsuit for the first time. The singer of the story is hesitant to wear her yellow polka dot bikini on a beach day out with friends, and winds up hiding under a blanket. The catchy tune with its infectious beat and simple lyrics gained immense popularity during the early 1960s beach culture.
The song starts with the singer describing the singer’s swimsuit that she wore for the first time. Here, it is interesting to note the hyperbole in the song’s title where the swimsuit named “itsy bitsy teenie weenie” when in reality, it wasn't that small. The singer is anxious and nervous and is afraid of being seen by anyone. The second verse further highlights the singer's fear of revealing her body and her wish to stay hidden under the blanket on the shore.
The chorus repeats the refrain of the song, providing a catchy hook for the audience. The bridge of the song talks about the singer's reluctance to go into the water and her eventual distress, which highlights society's beauty standards and its impact on personal body image.
