Hair Lyrics
Why I'm 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...
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Shoulder length or longer hair
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
And get caught in the trees
Give a home for the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for the buzzing bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, steaming, gleaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Mangled, tangled, spangled
And spaghetti!
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short
Down to there
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself
Don't never have to cut
'Cause it stops by itself
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen
Shoulder length or longer hair
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair
Long as I can grow it
My hair
i love the cowsills! they just don't make music like this anymore! sigh
This song is absolutely wonderful and hilarious!!! if anyone can provide some insight on "the Grateful Dead" allusion, i'd be nice.
at that time the grateful dead were a broke struggling band while the cowsills were multi millionairs estamated between 10-30 million.sorry for the misspelling.PS.on you tube there is a clip where he gets to that verse then stops and says 'that's before,you know"meaning before the deadhead following.something like that.

I love this song, awsome
this song is about long beautiful hair
A great tribute to one of the great icons of the time period, of course, HAIR.
One of the funnest songs of all time.
This was a cover of the title song from the musical "Hair" originally written by James Rado and Gerome Ragne. The musical was a smash due to its controversial content and anti-Vietnam war message. The song however, was not a hit until the Cowsills covered it and got mid west radio to play it. The only thing that kept the Cowsill's version of "Hair" from becoming number one on Billboard was the 5th Dimension's song "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" from the same musical, "Hair". Brilliantly covered and executed by the Cowsills, their effort became the definitive version.
