Hair
ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING Lyrics

She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy
Someone is questioning the singer's hairy appearance.

I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright
The singer is always hairy and it's scary-looking.

I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, Don't know
The singer doesn't know why they have so much hair.

It's not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead
The singer's hair is not because they are poor like the Grateful Dead band.

Darlin', give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
The singer is asking someone to give them hair.

Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
The hair should be shiny and smooth with a bright color.

Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer
The hair should be long enough to hang down to the shoulders or even longer.

Here, baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
The singer wants hair all over their body.

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
The singer is obsessed with hair.

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
The singer wants to let their hair grow long and show it off.

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
The singer wants their hair to blow in the wind and get tangled in trees.

Give a home to the fleas in my hair
The singer doesn't mind having fleas living in their hair.

A home for fleas, (yeah) a hive to bees, (yeah) a nest for birds
The singer's hair can provide shelter for small creatures like fleas, bees, and birds.

There ain't no words for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
There is no way to describe how great the singer's hair is.

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy
The singer wants their hair to be every possible texture and style.

Ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming
The singer doesn't care what condition their hair is in, as long as it shines and is long.

Streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka dotted
The singer wants their hair to have various colors and designs.

Twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered and confettied
The singer wants their hair to have different styles with accessories and decorations.

Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied
The singer wants their hair to have ornaments and be styled in different ways.

They'll be ga ga at the go go when they see me in my toga
People will be amazed at the singer's appearance when they see them in their toga.

My toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
The singer's toga is made of their own blonde, shiny hair.

My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah, I adore it
The singer wants their hair to look like Jesus's hair.

Hallelujah; Mary loved her son, why don't my mother love me?
The singer is questioning why their own mother doesn't appreciate their hair.

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
The singer wants their hair to grow long and show it off.

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
The singer wants their hair to grow long and show it off.

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
The singer wants their hair to grow long and show it off.

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
The singer wants their hair to grow long and show it off.
