Galt MacDermot - Hair (1979)

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 break
Like the Grateful Dead, Darling

Gimme head with hair, Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair, Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama, Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, Long as God can grow it
My hair

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 bees
A nest for birds, There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen, Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided, Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see, My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here, Down to there, Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga 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?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it, Long as God can grow it
My hair
