The Lyrics
On Groundhog Day of 2005, I voluntarily had the long ponytail that I'd worn for more than 12 years removed, shortly before my performance as Inspector Rough in The Concord Players' production of "Angel Street".
( -- instrumental intro -- )
Knife
Slowly flays
It's but a mane and we get it clipped away
Fuzz
Brightly glossed in sun
Should be flyin', in a bold free gust of fun
Like the twilight in the robe of my head
There won't be much hair a-growin'
More of my skull's seen by the Universe
Whiskers in our ears
(Show) All the years that come and go
Shave fuzz off !
Always off !
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
( -- instrumental -- )
Dreams
Of the mane
And photos too, mem'ries plenty, still remain
Fleece
I had piles above
Sacrificed it, for a role I'd just begun
Like an actor on a golden stage
I must gather all my courage
Bravely clip off what I've grown for years
Cast away my fears
And although tears may come and go
Shave it off -- all shaved off !
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
So,
I wanna act while the actin' is easy
I wanna cry when it makes it work right
I may
Never
Have this
Mane again
So why'd I chop it, ask you?
'Cause,
I want to feel like my role is my friend
I'll dive within it, and it's within me then
I may
Never
Have this
Mane again
That's why I chopped it -- for truth, baby!
( -- instrumental -- )
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
He may never have this mane again
( -- instrumental ending -- )

Johnny, I really like the original song and the message it has, and give you my best vote solely for that--but your parody's good too.
fives for the song and a moment of silence for the ponytail
Very hair-raising parody.
Cutting you some fives.
I prefer my thespians completely shaved, but that's a start.
Shear Genius...555
This is also very timely with the Kentucky Derby almost here...five clips
Great parody of a great original.
Thanks, Royce, Alvin, Larry, JB, Leo, Rick, AFW, and Merry.
