I ran my fingers through the hair upon my sleepy head
I knew that it was going to be one of those awful days
‘Cause when I showered no shampoo was there within my gaze
What shall I do? I pondered, as I stood there soaking wet
I guess I’ll use this bar of soap, it’s all I’m gonna get
Now, using hand soap on your hair is not the thing to do
But I really didn't have much choice since there was no shampoo
As soon as I had showered then I thought that I would try
To comb the tangles from my hair before I got it dry
But having no conditioner made this job quite a chore
And after fifteen minutes my poor head was very sore
With every tangle that I combed I gave a little shout
I feared that I’d go bald before I got all of them out
But finally I finished and surveyed the damage there
My poor eyes were full of tears and the sink was full of hair
But now the worst was over and I could finally start
To do my hair and I combed it into an even part
I was in a hurry now because I was running late
It was after seven and I was due in class at eight
I turned the heat on my hair blower up to very high
This was a very big mistake and shortly I knew why
My hair began to frizz into an awful horrid shape
Something less than human and more like a jungle ape
My hopes of getting it into a cute and chic hairdo
Were over now and it wouldn’t do a thing I asked it to
Every lock of hair was frizzed and every end was split
No matter what I tried I could not do a thing with it
Although I used almost a can of very stiff hairspray
My hair would not cooperate, I couldn’t make it stay
I then began to try and style my hair into a tress
But that only turned out to be a fuzzy braided mess
Everything I tried just seemed to make my hair do worse
I wondered just what I had done to get this awful curse
I thought about just staying home pretending I was sick
If I didn’t have a test today then I would try this trickIt was almost eight o’clock so out the door I flew
I was out of time and there was just one thing to do
As class began my friends all turned to look at where I sat
Wondering why on earth I came there wearing a new hat
