lyrics

I was born a short haired boy
My mother’s pride and joy
And everywhere that mummy went
She’d take me and all

‘My boy is
Such a perfect specimen
With mummy’s eyes and chins
And bless his little cottons
With daddy’s short haired pins’


They took me up the high street
All the grannies billed and cooed
They hobbled all together
To stroke my scratchy follicles

‘Oh couldn’t you just eat him up,’
they said and licked their lips
I gurgled out in terror
But they did not take the hint

Mother was in tears
When my cowlick first appeared
The bristles became bushels
‘til they brushed down past me ears

‘My little boy’s a monster,’
She shivered in dad’s arms
He dragged me by the ankles….

To the barbers

Now I look so neat and smart
A little short haired work of art
Now I look so smart and neat
From my short haired head to my shoe shod feet

We’ll eat our crusts and leave the rest
We’ll sup our milk from short haired breasts
To grow the short hairs on our chest
Ho ho.
