Long Haired Child

[Verse 1]

A mid-winter's day, it's cold

And I know for certain

When I go outside

My head'll start hurtin'

It's a winter's day

And I know for certain

When I go outside

My head'll start hurtin'

[Verse 2]

So I wrap it up in materials, to

Keep my head from getting cold

I'll wrap it up in materials, to

Keep my hair from getting cold

And I said, tell my friends, when I have kids

Yeah, I said, tell my friends, when I have kids

[Chorus]

I'm gonna want that child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

[Verse 3]

When I go outside to mingle in the snow

My head look like a globe

Ain't no hair on it at all

Do I buy a wig?

Should I grow my beard?

And comb it upwards

And around my ears

Well, I can't wait for the kids to come

No, I can't wait for the kids to come

Say, "Hey babe, you go no-no barbershop"

‘Cause I want

Yeah, I want

Now I know for certain

[Chorus]

I'mma want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

I'm gonna want the child to be a long-haired child

That's for sure

Yeah, baby that's for sure

[Verse 4]

When the snow it hits my temple

I want to rush home, put on the kettle now

And warm my little brain and bald head

I'm too cold to know if I'm alive or dead

[Verse 5]

But when my baby slips out my mama's womb

When my baby slips out my mama's womb

We're gonna enter a new life

Enter a new life, that's for sure

You're gonna enter your self

Back through your baby's front door

Now if you want that baby to be a long-haired child

You're gonna make that baby be a long-haired child

That's for sure

Baby, baby, that's for sure

[Outro]

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop

Shoo-bop, shoo-bop
