　　Background information: When the song first came out, bikinis were new and many girls felt "exposed" when they wore them. It took a while for them to get used to bikinis. The song is meant to be a humorous look at fashion: This is the first day the girl wears such a swimming suit. On the one hand, she wants to follow the fashion of wearing a bikini. On the other hand, she is shy about being seen in public in such a revealing swimming suit. At first, she is afraid even to come out of the locker room. Then she sits on the beach, but covers herself with a blanket. Finally, she does get into the water, and stays in water even though she is turning blue with cold.

　　"Itsy bitsy" and "teenie weenie" are both infrequently used slang expressions that mean very small.(You do not open your mouth wide when you pronounce these words.) They are now used together to help create the impression that the girl's bikini swimming suit is pretty skimpy!
