The Lyrics

[Chorus:]
I had an adventure just a week before last
Don’t know where I went but got there fast
Now I parked right near a barber shop
Thought I’d go in, learn local op

[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
The town was tiny as a small town could be
The shop was so remarkably neat.
But when I saw the hair on his head
My heart near stopped; he’d look better dead.

[Verse 2]
I asked the barber, “Is there another who
“Could cut my hair?” “Yes, there’s Barber 2.
“And you’ll find his hair is cut so fine
“I wish his own barber could cut mine.”

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I made my visit, and when it was done
I returned to barber 1
His hair was ugly, and it should be covered
But in a town with two barbers, THEY MUST BARBER EACH OTHER.

[Chorus]

[Spoken]

Say, man?
Hey there!
I saw your new barber the other day.
Yeah?
Yeah, and his own hair is ugly. Ha!
Yeah, it's ugly, but he sure can cut hair!
Yeah, alright.

[Chorus x3]
I know the syllable match is non-existent. But in this type song, I'm not sure it matters.

Good Job!. I'm old enough to remember hearing this song on the radio when it first became popular.
