Lyrics

[Intro]
She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling
[Verse 1]
Gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here, baby, there, Mama
Everywhere, Daddy, daddy
[Chorus]
Hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair
[Verse 2]
Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for the buzzin' bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my
[Chorus]
Hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair
[Verse 3]
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, steaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied
[Bridge]
Oh, say can you see
My eyes, if you can
Then my hair's too short
[Verse 4]
Down to here
Down to there
Down to bare
Down to where it stops by itself
[Verse 5]
They'll be gaga at the go-go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah, I adore it
Hallelujah, Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
[Chorus]
Hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it, my hair
