Oh oh, you'll be okay, once you get those permanent waves
"What you need is a change, have a shave, find a chick"
My neurosis returned, I'm a wreck once again
I'll be all the rage in my permanent waves
I went out walking and it started to rain
He checked me over and he said I was fit
And wait 'til I get back my permanent waves
My perm washed out, it just got flushed down the drain
You'll look smooth, you'll look cool, you'll be laughing
I was really up but now I'm down once again
I can't quite explain, I can't feel any pain
Comb your hair, put on weight, try to look up to date
He said, "I think you better do something quick"
You'll get lots of dates, you'll be made, you'll get laid
Change your image 'cos you look out of place
You shouldn't let it hang all over your face
I'll be cool, I'll be smooth, I'll be laughing
Oh oh, I'll be okay once I get permanent waves
And I'll start a new craze, I'll be laughing
But I know that this time I'm not fakin'
Why don't you put in some permanent waves?
You'll get out and about, you'll be laughing
Do your permanent waves, oh oh permanent waves
Your body functions but your hair's a disgrace
Oh oh, what can it be, oh oh, inside of me
I saw my doctor he said, "Man you look sick"
