When you woke up this mornin' and you saw your hair was fried You washed it, combed it, curled it, but it still looked like Einstein You tried to show your head who's boss You tried to have your way But there was voodoo in your hairdo It's gonna be a bad hair day Bad hair day You warned the kids at school that they should run right out of sight 'Cause your bad hair was angry and was lookin' for a fight It stole a watch, it stole some cash, and this kid's fish filet Then you saw the flashin' sirens I'm havin' a bad hair day Bad hair day, bad hair, bad hair Pushed a cop down the stairs They locked your hair away Hey, do I get a phone call? It's been a bad hair day, bad hair day Your hair got sent to trial but your lawyer didn't care The judge made his decision, he said: Send her to the chair Time to clip those outlaw strands and finally make 'em pay 'Cause, today, there's no escaping A bad hair day, bad hair, bad hair Change of heart, sayin' prayers It might sound quite cliché But it's the legend of the bad hair day
