If You’re Curly-Headed

Well, my grandma said
one day they’d kill me for ‘em.
All the girls and the ladies
at the beauty-parlor
payin’ for a permanent wave.
Blonde, brunette, or gray
they’ve always been that way.
It ain’t your fault
if you’re curly-headed.

Well, there’s scientific-proof
curls do somethin’ to the brain.
There’s scientific-proof
that girl’ll take you back again.
Live up to your potential
Get treated preferential
You c’aint help it
if you’re curly-headed.

And it’s true
that you
c’aint help it
if you’re curly-headed.
It gives you
an excuse
to not always think things through.

Well, they got shampoo
for volume and for balance
and they got shampoo
that’ll wash your blues away
(that’s what they say).
Lustrous or lazy
Voluminous or crazy
You c’aint help it
If you’re Curly-headed

And it’s true
as blue
you c’aint help it
if you’re curly-headed.
They look good
on you
or at least they’ll get you through.

Lustrous or lazy
Voluminous or crazy
It ain’t your fault
If you’re curly-headed

Live up to your potential
Get treated preferential
You cain’t help it
If you’re curly-headed

For the most part
You ain’t Mozart
But you’re curly-headed
