#13 Hair (The Cowsills) πŸ‘πŸΌ

Lyrics:
She asked him why
Why I’m a hairy guy
I’m hairy noon and nighty-night night
My hair is a frightπŸͺ„
I’m hairy high and low
But don’t ask me why
‘Cause he don’t know
It’s not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead, darlin’πŸͺ„
Gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming
Streaming, flaxen, waxenπŸͺ„
Give me down to there (hair)
Shoulder length or longer (hair)
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy, daddyπŸͺ„
Hair (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hairπŸͺ„
I let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home for the fleas in my hair
A home for the fleas
A hive for the buzzin’ bees
A nest for birds
There ain’t no words for the beauty and the splendor
The wonder of myπŸͺ„
Hair (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hairπŸͺ„
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxenπŸͺ„
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettiedπŸͺ„
Oh, say, can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair’s too shortπŸͺ„
Down to here
Down to there
Down to there?
Down to where?
It stops by itselfπŸͺ„
Don’t never have to cut it
‘Cause it stops by itselfπŸͺ„
Oh, give me a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxenπŸͺ„
Now won’t you gimme it down to there? (hair)
Shoulder length or longer (hair)
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy, daddyπŸͺ„
Hair (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Hair
