The Tall Hair Blues

They say I'm ugly and they're right I guess.
They say I'm ugly and they're right I guess.
Some say I look like a plugged up Porgy.
Some say I look like a drunked up Bess.

Went down to the Mojo Man asked him what I can do.
Went down to the Mojo asked him what I can do.
Told him I want some of that sweet sweet loving too.

He said "Drink this potion. Then get outta my place.
Drink up this motion potion and get outta my place.
Give me fifty dollars. I don't want to see your face.

You'll look like a Beatle. That potion make your hair grow long.
Maybe you'll look like Ringo. But your hair gonna be long.
Maybe you got an ugly hairstyle. Maybe thats all that's wrong."

But I ain't like the others. Hair roll and flow so beautifully.
But I ain't like all the others. Hair roll and flow so beautifully.
I'm the Lonliest Ranger. My poor hair grow vertically!

Went down to South Philly. Gals give me such looks!
Went walking down South street. All the gals give me those looks.
One said "Hey mister, you in those record books?"

Walked away from those mean women. Hair got caught up on a electric wire.
Walked away from those mean women. Wire was twenty feet or higher.
Listen to em all. "That funny man's on fire."

When you got tall hair you're gonna ride the Midnight train.
When you got tall hair you're gonna ride the Midnight train.
Have to sit on top of the coal car. Smokestack lightning in your brain.

The Tall Hair Blues.
