[Verse 1] I had this little strand of hair it got in my face sometimes. I had this little strand of hair and so I chopped it off. [Verse 2] I chopped that strand of hair away I chopped it off my head. And what, quite then, did happen friend when I saw my head next? [Bridge A] It grew! Another! Fine strand of hair! So I went right in and chopped it off, another strand of hair. [Chorus] But it grew! My hair! Like some five-headed hydra! It grew! My hair! So I'm stuck with lots of hair. [Verse 3] I thought I might want to remove all of my hair. I went away to the barber shop to have them chop it there. [Chorus] But it grew! My hair! I could hardly make it through the door. It grew! My hair! I could barely make it through. [Verse 4] Once I was in that shop, they thought they'd chop it off. They were going to use a buzzer and buzz it right, right off. [Chorus] And they buzzed, they buzzed for hours and hours. They buzzed, they buzzed until I had no hair. [Bridge B] And I stood up and looked around the place examining the sight. My hair had spread all through their eyes and it got deep inside, But it wasn't on me anymore! I could, yes, go outside! So, I left that barber shop and I ran, yes, far outside. [Chorus] For it grew! My hair! Devouring that whole building! It grew! My hair! And we had to burn it down.
