My dad had a beard!
'Cause my dad wasn't sh**!
And when he died I decided I
Would grow one just like it!
I grew it large and I grew it long!
I grew it thick and I grew it strong!
Then I had to get a job
But at the job interview
They told me I'd have to shave
The beard That I had just grew!
They said 'We have a no-beard policy'!
I said 'You can't do this to me!'
I said:
I WON'T SHAVE!
I WON'T DO WHAT YOU SAY!
I WON'T SHAVE!
I'm not gonna shave my beard away
I won't listen to what you say
I dont' need your welfare, don't need your pay!
This beard is mine!
And this! Beard! Stays!
I said 'This beard stays!'
So I went to central lake
Thought I'd get me some welfare
But the lady at the counter
Didn't like my facial hair!
She said 'You'll have to shave first, sir'
So I stood up, and yelled this at her:
(oh I yelled:)
I WON'T SHAVE!
I WON'T DO WHAT YOU SAY!
I WON'T SHAVE!
I'm not gonna shave my beard away
I won't listen to what you say
I dont' need your welfare, don't need your pay!
This beard is mine!
And this! Beard! Stays!
So I wandered far from home
Travelling across the land
And I spread my bearded message
Singing in my novelty band!
So if you're bearded and you're proud!
Sing with us, and sing it loud!
We'll all sing:
WE WON'T SHAVE!
WE WON'T DO WHAT YOU SAY!
WE WON'T SHAVE!
We're not gonna shave our beards away
We've got beards, and that's okay
You're not a real father anyway
These beards are ours!
And these! Beards! Stay!
And 'This beard stays!'
These! Beards! Stay!
These! Beards! Stay!
Beards
