Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She asked him why
Why I'm a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and nighty night night
My hair is a fright
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'
[Verse 2]
Gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shinin', gleamin'
Streamin', flaxen, waxen
[PreChorus]
Give me down to there (Hair)
Shoulder length or longer (Hair)
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy, daddy, hair (Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, oh)
Grow it, show it (I do)
Long as I can grow it, my hair (Love my hair)
[Verse 3]
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 (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, oh)
Grow it, show it (Ah, ooh)
Long as I can grow it, my hair (Love my hair)
[Bridge]
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shinin'
Steamin', gleamin', flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered and confetti'ed
Mangled, tangled, spangled
And spaghetti
[Bridge]
Oh, say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
[Bridge]
Down to here
Down to there
Down to there
Down to where?
It stops by itself
[Bridge]
No, never have to cut it
'Cause it's stops by itself
[Verse 4]
Oh, gimme a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shinin', gleamin'
Streamin', flaxen, waxen
[PreChorus]
Now, won't you gimme it down to there? (Hair)
Shoulder length or longer (Hair)
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy, daddy, hair (Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, oh)
Grow it, show it (I do)
Long as I can grow it, my hair (Love my hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, oh)
Grow it, show it (I do)
Long as I can grow it, my hair (Love my hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
