HAIRSTYLE

It's about losing hair
how it just isn't fair
the guys lose theirs first,
some in their twenties
by thirty it's thin
but thank god bald is in

I hear your complaint
and I sympathize, I do
but you must realize
that I lose my hair too

and if you're a guy
you've got options, you see
there's that Hair Club for Men
(but no Hair Club for me...)

or a guy can buy paint
with a halo to wear
you cover the bald spot
and comb what's left over there

of course if you insist
on the combover
you'll get the onceover
then we laugh -- we can't resist...

or the guy can get weaves
or transplant hair plugs
or if that doesn't work
there are guys who wear rugs

but back to the women:
we lose our hair too
and do we get sympathy? No.
we just get the blues.

A guy going bald
can just shave his head
if he does, well, he's stylin'
"Looks good, man!" is said

But a bald woman now
that's a way different thing
either chemo for cancer
(Gee how sad! someone'll sing)

Or worse if she shaves
it's gonna make waves
she must be a feminazi bitch
(this last is said smiling, with nostrils that twitch)

So here we are friend: I'm losing my hair
my options are limited
does anybody care?
or hey... do I dare
to be different?

I've decided from now on I'll no longer sweep
my lost hair from the bathroom floor
I'll just leave it there
and I'll comb it with care
and at least I'll have a hairstyle
...somewhere.
