What a Piece of Work My Man Is (From "Hair")

Hair - The New Musical Cast

She asks me why why I'm just 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

Cause he don't know

It's not for lack of bread like the Grateful Dead

Darlin'

Give me 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 momma ev'rywhere daddy daddy

Hair hair hair hair hair

Hair hair hair Flow it show it

Long as I can grow it my hair

I'd let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees

Give a home to the fleas in my hair

A home for the fleas a hive for the buzzin' 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 hair

Flow it show it long as I can grow it my hair

I want it long straight curly fuzzy snaggy shaggy

Ratty matty

Oily greasy fleecy shining streaming gleaming

Flaxen waxen

Knotted polka dotted twisted beaded braided

Powdered flowered and confettied bangled

Tangled spangled and spahettied

Oh say can you see my eyes

If you can then my hair's too short

Hair hair hair hair hair

Hair hair hair Flow it show it

Long as God can grow it my hair

They'll be ga-ga at the go-go

When they see me in my toga

My toga meade of blond brilliantined biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it Halleluja I adore it

Halleluja Mary loved her son

Why don't my mother love me

Hair hair hair hair hair

Hair hair hair

Folw it show it

Long as God can grow it my hair

Hair hair hair hair hair

Hair hair hair

Folw it show it

Long as God can grow it my hair
