Hair Lyrics

She asked him why
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...

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

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
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair

I can let it fly in the breeze
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...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight and curly, fuzzy
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!

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

Down to here
Down to there
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself
Don't never have to cut
'Cause it stops by itself

Oh, gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

And won't you 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
Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair

Grow it, show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair

Hair ....

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.

A great tribute to one of the great icons of the time period, of course, HAIR.

One of the funnest songs of all time.

Cover art for Hair lyrics by Cowsills, The

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.
