I used to have my hair like Elvis Presley
Good resemblance too I have to say
Combed my quiff no parting
Wore my sideburns long
But that was so long since another day
Now my hair is parted in the middle
My dome shows through
And gets the sun all day
Sideburns long since shortened
Wouldn’t look quite right
Don’t want to look Mick Miller
I must say
Haven’t been to the barbers
For a while now
Lost the habit
Let what I have grow
It’s all round the back
I can’t see its track
Think I’ll have a ponytail
You know
