The Lyrics
Swell gel's held well your 'do
For a long time.
You'd better glop on some more goo—
It's declinin',
No more inclinin'.
It will not be standin’. . .
Be decampin’ down.
Better get your hand in
That vat, grab some, and slather it ’round.
It will have fell, your ’do
Past your eyeline. . .
Decline.
Gel that you
Meld with ’do’s
Held it through
Hell or slough rising now
Way up to where
It crests a levee
And drowns a cow. . .
What I mean:
Water that’s swelled up to
And past flood line.
For a long time.
You'd better glop on some more goo—
It's declinin',
No more inclinin'.
It will not be standin’. . .
Be decampin’ down.
Better get your hand in
That vat, grab some, and slather it ’round.
It will have fell, your ’do
Past your eyeline. . .
Decline.
Gel that you
Meld with ’do’s
Held it through
Hell or slough rising now
Way up to where
It crests a levee
And drowns a cow. . .
What I mean:
Water that’s swelled up to
And past flood line.
