Hairspray
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met a girl I knew the other day
I said hello, she looked the other way
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
Shopping for fun may chase the blues away
Imelda Marcos bought more shoes today
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
Bored housewives re-arrange the pottery
Hoping one day they'll win the lottery
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
You're oh so hard
You're oh so cool
You're oh so smart
You're just a spray on fool
I met a man who swore that Jesus Saves
I asked him for a loan 'til Judgement Day
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
OhOhOh you're so set in your ways
Oh Oh Oh you must need a hairspray
With your spray on suit and your spray on hair
Your spray on smile and your spray on stare
Your spray on curls and you're spray on shirt
You're just spray on dirt......
