Song - Hair
(Lyrics)

She ask 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
cuz he don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

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

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 fleas
A hive for the bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

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

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

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

Down to here
Down to there

Down to where it stops by itself
(No never have to cut it cos it stops by itself)

Oh give me a head with hair
Long, beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

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)
Grow it
Show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair ( hair hair hair)
Grow it
Show it
Long as I can grow it
My hair( hair hair hair hair hair hair hair hair hair)

I remember this and it was a happier time for all except for vietnam. Now, we are all in hell.

[Bacmaster]

@Hushpuppy57 Yes, this is hell alright! I think something called "greed" started it to...

[sesabio]

@Bacmaster Greed started when adam and eve disobeyed and sinned.we've been in the hole ever since then.it was bad WAY before vietnam and its bad WAY after vietnam.(humans are never happy)

[Bacmaster]

@sesabio Technically speaking, you are 100% correct. Thank you

LOL @ the Johnny Carson picture at 00:51

[Bacmaster]

@reddiaperbaby I wonder how many people caught that! Very good observation on your part!

By the way, his tonight show was a riot!!!!

[gaylehelen]

@Bacmaster Wow, when I saw "greed" it really caught my attention. I feel exactly the same way!!  I despise greed, and you're both right - we are in hell.

Who would of thought after all these years after I found this old 45 in my late Moms collection from the sixties when I was 8 yrs old and it still played well as a vinyl could, now its up on youtube. Thanks for bringing back a treasured memory.

The world would be soooooo boring without Hippies..... :-)

@Tull29 Don't limit yourself by adopting a misguided label like baby boomer, GenXer, or anything else. You are what you feel, and your world is what you make it. Musical interests can span decades - I know mine do.

I used to think turning 50 was the official entry point into old fart-dom. That was decades ago. Now I'm thinking that must start somewhere around 90..... or maybe not .... we'll see when I get there :)

[HeartPiece4u]

this is just what i needed. i love this kind of muisc it reminds me of my mom. r.i.p momma.

[Manda23Sue]

@papiiuenvy186 Hell yeah!

Ending photo is of Lonnie Frisbee, from Calvary. Those were wonderfully unique days. The world really needs God's love, and for us to love our neighbor as ourself. God bless you ...peace

@Tull29 For 50 you're young, seems like you're sweating it. Why?
