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

Good one Bob! Enjoyed the humour and can relate to the lyrics.
Like the chords too. Cheers.

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
Posted By: Janice & Bud Re: Comb Over *New* A Bald Mans Dilemma - 10/08/15 05:59 PM
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!!

Hi Rob,
I really enjoyed this one !!

Nice groove and cute lyrics. Indeed an excellent choose of styles and instruments.

All the best,
Sergio.

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
Hello Rob

a great song, a witty theme for the song.

Fortunately it is not my case, for now...

Nice song and melody over chords.

Sergio.

Thank you J and B.
When selecting a style these day I find it hard to pass bluegrass. Hope PG put out some more BG styles.
Thank for your continued support and kind words.

LOL! Now that was some pure toe tapping laugh out loud fun! When my brother lost his hair, he grew a beard down to his chest to take the focus off his head...God rest his soul. LOL!

Oops, almost forgot to mention those "oooo's" were a really cool touch in the arrangement too.

Hello Tommy. Thanks for noticing my sick mind.
My father and younger brother have a full head of hair but I missed out some how.
Thank you for your sentiments.

This is hilarious! (And very well done, as usual)

Completely hilarious treatment of a serious topic. Great singing and harmonies Rob. Deserves a sequel: Sample lyrics

A Transplant's What I Got,
But my Friends all say Let's Play ...
Connect the Dots!
