Here is one for all those baldies out there.
Its time to fight back. smile All comments welcome.

Comb Over

Comb over
I wake in the morning and see all the hair that Ive shed.
When I wake in the morning I can see different parts of my head.

I look in the mirror, whose that staring at me?
I look in the mirror its a shiny bald head that I see.

Its a comb over, its a comb over, its a com over for my hair.

My wife's been complaining I keep blocking up the sink.
Ive so self conscious a head like an ice skating ring.

When out in the sunshine my bald glistens like chrome.
With my sickly white complexion my heads like white driven snow
Its a comb over, its a comb over, its a com over for my hair

Another nice one! Kind of recognizable lyrics for me, sadly frown
If my hair loss progresses the way it did this last year, I won't do a comb over, but I'll be wearing a hat smile

Clever write, and well done.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

This is really a kick!! I guess we're all getting up there. Arrangement and melody were perfect for the comedic effect. Loved the photo on Soundcloud. Well done! Take care. Greg

Laugh out loud funny and clever! You've
got these bluegrass productions down
Rob. Often folks just throw some BG
tracks together and call it bluegrass but
you have a genuine feel for it.

Killer BGV stuff going on here. Janice has
joined in with them as we listen.

Cool write, vocals and production!!

What kind of a sick mind thinks up something like this. Seriously very funny! Another fine bluegrass production. It's strange the way baldness can skip a generation. My father and my son shared the condition but it hasn't gotten to me yet. I really enjoyed this one. Tom
