Hair Page #3

Like the Grateful Dead

Darling

Give me a head with hair

Long, beautiful hair

Shining, gleaming

steamin', flaxen, waxen

Give me 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 splendor

the wonder of my hair

Flow it, Show it

I want it long, straight

curly, fuzzy

Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty

oily, greasy, fleecy

Shining, gleaming, steaming

Flaxen, waxen

knotted, polka-dotted

Twisted, beaded, braided

- Powdered, flowered

- And confettied

- Bangled

- Tangled, spangled

And spaghettied

Oh, say can you see my eyes

- If you can

- Then my hair's too short

- Down to here

- Down to there

Down to where

it stops by itself

They'll be ga-ga 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, I adore it

Hallelujah, Mary loved her son

Why don't my mother love me

You know, Danny's mother said

Danny said to say hello.

He's in second year

of dental school...

and the girl he's dating

is beautiful, nice.

It's got a lot of mayonnaise,

the way you like, both sides.

- Eat it.

- Thanks, Mom.

- It's good. Eat it.

- I will.

Give me your pants.

I'll wash them.

- Why?

- They're dirty.

They're fine.

They're not dirty.

It'll take a minute.

The pants are fine, Ma.

What do you say, Pop?

What do you say, what?

Nothing, Ma.

- If you need money, get a job.

- You talking about money?

- What do you need money for?

- Nothing, I just need it.

- Who is she?

- Who is who?

- The girl?

- What girl?

- Who is the girl?

- There's no girl.

You can tell us everything.

We understand everything.

What are you talking about?

I just need some money.

If you need the money,

tell us the truth.

What are you talking about?

Goddamn it. Every time

you come home, there's trouble.

Why don't you clean yourself up?

Why don't you get a haircut?

Get a haircut,

and I'll give you the money.

You'll give me the money

if I get a haircut?

For Christ's sake,

do something to make us happy!

- What?

- Will you give me $500?

- Give me your pants!

- My pants are clean!

They're clean,

for Christ's sake!

How much you need?

The draft is white people...

sending black people...

to make war on the yellow people...

to defend land they stole...

from the red people!

LBJ took the IR

Down to Fourth Street, USA

When he got there

What did he see

Tricky Dick on LSD

FBI:

CIA:

Come on.

Wait, Berger!

- How you doing?

- How are you?

- All right.

- Listen, first...

I want to apologize for Steven.

He's very young,

and he really doesn't understand.

Tell me who do you love

Man

Tell me what, man

Tell me

What did you love, man

Old-fashioned melody

Listen, I was thinking.

Would you like to get married?

What?

- To whom?

- Me.

I'm having this baby,

and, if you were married...

the Army couldn't take you--

They wouldn't take you because they

don't take people who are married...

and having a baby.

We're all encased in sonic armor

Beltin' it out

through chrome grenades

Miles and miles of Medusan chord

The electronic sonic boom

It's what's happening, baby

It's where it's at, Daddy

They chain you and brainwash you

when you least expect it

They feed you mass media

The age is electric

I got the electric blues

Folk rock, rhythm and blues

Do you, Sheila Franklin

Take this man to be

Your lawful wedded husband

I do.

Do you, Claude Hooper Bukowski

Take this woman to be

Your lawful wedded wife

I do.

I now pronounce you

man and wife

Hare Krishna

Krishna

Hare

Hare Rama

Rama

Love

Drop out

Be in

Take trips, get high

Laugh, joke and good-bye

Beat drum and old tin pot

I am high on you-know-what

Marijuana

Beads, flowers

freedom, happiness

Right there.

Are you all right?

Where you been?

Where have we been?

Where have you been, man?

Watching the water.

Let me see your eyes.

Let me see those.

My God, black basketballs.

Look at my face.

Look at the sky.

Look at the stars.

- See the stars?

- Look at that.

Everybody,

a shooting star right over there.

Quick, everybody, make a wish.

Will you take me home now, please?

Why do you want to go home?

It's Claude's last night.

Right?

Are we going to do something?

- Yeah, we'll do something.

- Yeah.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know.

It's Claude's night.

What do you want to do?

Take Sheila home.

She's all yours.

Have a good time.

- I'm just taking her home.

- I know.

Have a good time anyway.

Come on, Jeannie.

Come on.

Get your pants off and come on in!

You want to go home?

- You're just taking me home, right?

- Yeah.

- No, you know what I mean.

- I'm just taking you home.

Because nothing's gonna happen.

No, I'll go home by myself.

No, I'll take you home.

- I don't feel like it.

- Why not?

I don't have to explain everything

to you...

do l?

Come on, Claude!

The water is filthy.

Listen, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be so--

I'm really sorry.

I wasn't trying to upset you.

That's all right.

It's just sometimes I get so--

I understand.

Are you upset?

No, you are.

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

- You're going away tomorrow, right?

- Yeah.

So, what's the point?

You mean, if I wasn't going away,

it would be different?

Maybe.

- I might not go.

- Right.

- You expect me to believe that?

- I'm serious.

Forget it.

I don't believe you.

Where did everybody else go?

They're around somewhere.

Jeannie's still up there.

Where are our clothes?

Where did they take them?

Funny.

You guys are so mature.

Don't look at me.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

Don't worry about it.

They're around.

Taxi!

Don't go! I've got your purse!

Sheila, wait!

I don't believe it, man.

What happened?

What the hell did you do that for?

- It was fun, man.

- Fun?

I'm really sorry.

I didn't think she'd ever

pull a stunt like that.

We know where she lives.

We'll give her clothes back tomorrow.

I won't be here tomorrow.

Are you still serious

about that sh*t?

That's none

of your goddamn business.

It is my goddamn business, man.

What do you want?

You want to be a hero with a gun,

a big macho dude in a uniform?

- Is that what you want?

- I can't talk to you.

I'm standing right here.

Talk to me.

I think you're ridiculous.

I am ridiculous.

I'm totally ridiculous.

I'm ludicrous.

I don't want to go over there

and murder women and babies.

Go ahead and be ridiculous,

and I'll do what I have to do.

Who are you doing it for?

I'm doing it for you, man.

Don't hand me that.

Don't do it for me.

If the shoe was on the other foot,

I wouldn't do it for you.

Give me my clothes.

How will she get home? She doesn't

have her stuff. She has no bread.
