Lyrics[]
My hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
My hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
My hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.)
My hair flows like a waterfall,
Over a cliff that is my face.
My hair goes heavenbound,
Dirty blonde rockets into space.
My hair conceals my elf ears,
They are a little bit embarrassing.
Well, with hair this high, I'm 6 foot nine
Making me a giant, technically speaking.
Well, I can shake my hair and generate enough breeze,
To locomote a toy sailboat.
I would need no broom to sweep this room,
If someone spilled Honey Bunches of Oats.
'Cause my hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
My hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
My hair goes up.
My hair goes down.
Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.) Down. (Up.)
My hair pwns gravity.
It makes Sir Isaac Newton question himself.
My hair looks rustic.
Like I've draped my head with a beaver pelt.
A momma bird laid some eggs up there,
I didn't mind that much.
She raised them in my quaff 'til them birdies flew off,
And we still keep in touch.
I bet you didn't see my switchblade,
Or my iPad, or my chai tea.
And with a little more growth, you won't even know,
I got a full-sized baby.
A full-sized baby?
Yeah! I'm gonna name him Ricky.
After your dad.
Nope! I just always wanted to name a kid Ricky.
I would call him Richard, but I'm probably being picky
And why, are you hiding a kid anyway?!
Well it's actually just a robotic baby
What were we talking about?
Your hair goes up.
Your hair goes down.
Your hair goes up.
Your hair goes...
We interrupt the chorus of this song to bring you an important message: There are many weighty decisions you must make in life. Like: Who are you're gonna marry? What you gonna do for a living? Boxers or briefs? Or commando?
And, listen, you're gonna make mistakes.
You might invest your life savings in dehydrated water,
You might forget whether prohibited means you can do it or you can't do it.
You might ask a non-pregnant woman if she's pregnant.
That's OK; you'll recover
But just make sure you get this one, most important, course-of-your-life-altering choice, right.
Can I have my baby back now?
Yeah.
Does your hair go up?
Or does it go down? (Up?) Down? (Up?) Down? (Up?) Down? (Up?)
