Hey! This is for you, man.
Wait a minute. This is what you want.
So, Sheila,

Your Honour, l...
l don't think you understand.
We haven't got any bread, see...

There isn't anything l can do for you.

Stop it. This is mine.
l'm gettin' outta here.

- Of course not.
Look, man, don't be stupid.

but l'm not a homosexual, no.
Well, tell me. Tell me why
you're so uptight about having your hair cut.
She asked me why
l'm just a hairy guy
l'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
l'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
lt's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darlin'
Give me a head with hair,
long beautiful hair
Shinin', gleamin', steamin'
Flaxen, waxen
Gimme it down to there, hair
Shoulder-length or longer
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy
Hair
Grow it
Show it, long as God can grow it, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze
and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for the buzzin' bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendour,
the wonder of my hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
l want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty, oily,
greasy, fleecy, shinin', gleamin', steamin'
Flaxen, waxen, knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, perfumed and confettied,
bangled, tangled, spangled
And spaghettied
Say, can you see my eyes?
lf you can
Then my hair's too short
Down to here, down to there
Down to there,
down to where it stops by itself
They'll be gaga at the go-go
when they see me in my toga
ln my toga made of
blond brilliantined biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah, l adore it
Hallelujah, Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
Hair
Flow it, show it, long as God can grow it
My hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

That tells me why l live
And die?

Black boys are delicious
Chocolate-flavoured love
Liquorice lips like candy
Keep my cocoa handy
l have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Once l tried a diet
Of quiet rest, no sweets
But l went nearly crazy
And l went clearly crazy
Because l really crave for
Chocolate-flavoured treats
Black boys are nutritious
Black boys fill me up
Black boys are so damn yummy
They satisfy my tummy
l have such a sweet tooth
When it comes to love
Black, black
Black boys!
Next!
White boys
Are so pretty
Skin as smooth as milk
White boys are so pretty
Hair like Chinese silk
White boys give me goose bumps
White boys give me chills
When they touch my shoulder
That's the touch that kills
My mother calls them lilies
l call 'em piccadillies
My daddy warns me to stay away
But l say come and play
White boys are so groovy
White boys are so tough
Every time they're near me
l just can't get enough
White boys are so sexy
Sexy
They're so long and lean
Love those sprayed-on trousers
l love the love machine
My brother calls them rubble
They're my kind of trouble
My daddy warns me no
But l say, white boys, go!
White boys are so lovely
Beautiful as girls
Love to run my fingers
And toes through all their curls
Give me a tall
A lean
- A sexy
- A pretty
- A groovy
- A juicy
White boy
Oh, yeah, give me a white boy
- White boys
- Oh, Lord, don't excite me
Give me a white boy

Walking in space
Oh, my God, your skin is soft
l love your face
How dare they try
To end this beauty?
To keep us underfoot
They bury us in soot
Pretending it's our chore
They ship us off to war
ln this dive we rediscover sensation
Walking in space
We find the purpose of peace
The beauty of life
You can no longer hide
Our eyes are open
Wide

How can people
Be so cruel?
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How
Can people have no feelings?
You know l'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud

Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?

- Hi, Steve.
- Hi.
Wanna come out of the car for a minute?
No.
l just wanna talk to ya.
You wanna talk? Talk.
l'd like to talk to you outside.
l don't wanna talk to you.
Don't worry about a thing. l'll handle this.

No, l'm not going with you. Come on, Sheila.
Sheila. Out of the car. Sheila.
What? Sheila!
l'm not into any heavy preference trip,
y'know, like who the father is.
l don't care. l think
they're both beautiful. Don't you?
But how can you not care
about something like that?
lf a woman carries a child, she should
know who the father is, don't you think?
Well, l...
l admit that l have this dilemma.
But it'll be resolved real soon.
lt's not a big crisis or anything.
lt's not a world war.
l don't know what you're so uptight about.
l fell in love with someone.
We had a child.
We were going to get married.
That's why l'm uptight.
- Yeah?
- And you're holding it up.
No, l'm not holding it up.
See, you don't see the way it is.
This is really, like,
a great thing that's happened.
To all of us. Everybody's happy about it.
The guys are really happy.
l think it'd be great if you could,
y'know, be happy about it, too.
- You're crazy.
- Yeah. We're all crazy. Let's shake on it.
Let's not.
Come on!
Attention!
Stand at ease!
lf all you men could be standing
where l'm standing,
and seeing what l'm seeing,
you'd know how it feels
to be truly proud of our country.
The United States Army is
the greatest fighting force in the world.
And now you men
are going to be thousands of miles
away from home in a few days,
and you'd better take
some of that greatness with you.
And this afternoon, while you're on leave,
you'd better take some with you, too.
Sergeant!

Let's go! Get it on there!
Now!
We starve
Look at one another short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasies
Listening for the new-told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere
lnside something there is a rush of
Greatness
Who knows what stands in front of
Our lives?
l fashion my future
On films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Manchester, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And l'm a genius
l believe in God
And l believe that God believes in Claude
That's me
We starve
Look at one another short of breath
Berger!
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Berger?
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new-told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing our space songs
on a spider-web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Except for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine in
The sun shine in
Darlin'
Give me a head with hair,
long beautiful hair
Shinin', gleamin', steamin', flaxen, waxen
Gimme it down to there, hair
Shoulder-length or longer
Here, baby, there, mama
Everywhere, daddy
Hair
Flow it, show it,
Long as God can grow it, my hair
Let it fly in the breeze
and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for the buzzin' bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
for the beauty, the splendour
The wonder of my hair
Flow it, show it,
long as God can grow it, my hair
l want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy,
snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shinin',
gleamin', steamin', flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, perfumed and confettied
bangled, tangled, spangled
And spaghettied
Say, can you see my eyes?
lf you can then my hair's too short
Down to here, down to there, down to
there, down to where it stops by itself
They'll be gaga at the go-go
when they see me in my toga
My toga made of
blond brilliantined biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah, l adore it
Hallelujah, Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?
