Hair
The Broadway Kids Lyrics

She asks me why, I'm just a hairy guy
She's curious about my unruly hair, which is a part of who I am

I'm hairy noon and night, hair that's a fright
My hair is unruly and doesn't stay put - it's scary

I'm hairy high and low, don't ask me why, Don't know
My hair grows everywhere on my body and I don't know why

It's not for lack of bread, like the Grateful Dead
It's not because I'm poor, like the Grateful Dead band members

Darlin', give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
I desire long, luscious locks on a lady

Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
I want hair that's shiny and healthy looking

Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer
I want hair that's really long - either past the shoulders or even longer

Here, baby, there, momma, everywhere, daddy, daddy
I want to see long hair on all women, no matter their relationship to me

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
The word 'hair' repeated many times emphasizes its importance to me

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
I want to let my hair down and show it off, letting it grow as long as possible

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
I want my hair free and wild, even if that means it may get caught in tree branches

Give a home to the fleas in my hair
My hair is so wild that it's even a home for fleas

A home for fleas, (yeah) a hive to bees, (yeah) a nest for birds
My hair is not only a home for fleas but also a place for bees to make hives and birds to make nests

There ain't no words for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
My hair is so amazing that there aren't enough words to describe its beauty and wonder

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy
I want my hair to be all different types of textures and lengths

Ratty, matty, oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming
I don't care what condition my hair is in - I just want a lot of it

Streaming, flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka dotted
My hair can be all different colors and even have knots or spots

Twisted, beaded, braided, powdered, flowered and confettied
I want my hair to be styled with twists, beads, braids, powder, flowers and confetti

Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied
I want my hair to be decorated with various hair accessories and even cooked like spaghetti

They'll be ga ga at the go go when they see me in my toga
People will be amazed and excited when they see me wearing a toga

My toga made of blond, brilliantined, biblical hair
My toga is made out of blonde, shiny, healthy-looking hair, like that of biblical characters

My hair like Jesus wore it, Hallelujah, I adore it
I love my hair so much that I want it to be similar to how Jesus wore his hair

Hallelujah; Mary loved her son, why don't my mother love me?
I'm upset that my mother doesn't love me as much as Mary loved Jesus

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
My hair is still very important to me

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
I will continue to let my hair grow and be proud of it

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
Once more, I will let my hair flow and show it off for as long as possible

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
One more time, I am going to flaunt my hair for as long as possible

Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
Finally, I will let my hair be free and as long as possible because I praise God for it
