I used to go to the barber shop
To talk and pass the time of day.
I used to go to the barber shop
Whenever I had things to say.

I miss those trips to the barber shop
To spin tales in the barber’s chair.
But I don’t go to the barber shop
Since I lost the rest of my hair!

I did go back to the barber shop
And that’s the cause of my repine.
When I climbed up in the barber’s chair
He said, “I guess you want a shine!”
