Tom Waits - Barber Shop

Good mornin mr. snip snip snip witchur haircut jus as short as mine

Bay rum lucky tiger butch wax cracker jacks shoe shine jaw breaker

Magazine racks hangin round the barber shop a side burnin close crop

Mornin mr. furgeson what's the good word witcha been

Stayin outa trouble like a good boy should I see you're still cuttin hair



Well I'm still cuttin classes I just couldn't hep myself

I got a couple of passes to the ringle bros. barn bail circus afternoon

I see you lost a little round the middle and your lookin reel good

Sittin on the wagon stead of under the hood

What's the low down mr. brown heard you boy's leavin town

I just bought myself a struggle buggy suckers powder blue

Throw me over sports page cincinnati's lookin' good



Always been for pittsburgh lay you 10 to 1

That the pirates get the pennant and the series for their done

You know the hair's gettin longer and the skirts gettin shorter

You can get a cheaper haircut if you wanna cross the border

Now if your mama saw you smokin why she'd kick your ass

Put it out you little juvenile and put it out fast



Oh if I had a million dollars well what would I do

Probly be a barber not a bum like you

Still gotchur paper route now that's just fine

Now you can pay me double cause you gypped me last time

You be keepin little circus money and spend it on a girl

Know I give the best haircuts in the whole wide world
