Short Haired Man (In A Long Haired Town)

I was riding on a bus, all the people were staring at me
I was riding on a bus, all the people were staring at me
I said, "Conductor, conductor,
Won’t you tell these people to let me be?"

Up comes the conductor, he’s got a peaked cap on his head
Up comes the conductor, he’s got a peaked cap on his head
He pointed his finger at me
And this is what he said:

"You’re a short haired man
This is a long haired town
You’re a short haired man
This is a long haired town
And until you let your hair grow
Everybody’s gonna push you round"

I went to the local college to study for a degree
I went to the local college to study for a degree
The college professor,
He said, "We got no vacancies"

Coz you’re a short haired man etc.

I went in the local boozer to get myself a beer
I went in the local boozer to get myself a beer
The barman wouldn’t serve me
He said, "You’re not welcome here"

Coz you’re a short haired man etc.

People always try to change you, don’t ask me the reason why
People always try to change you, don’t ask me the reason why
But I’ll be a short haired man
Till the day I die

I’m a short haired man
This is a long haired town
I’m a short haired man
This is a long haired town
So I guess until I let my hair grow
Everybody’s gonna push me round

But I don’t care
