Finding a New Friend
Teddiboo was trifling and trifling so
He just kept wandering to and fro
His barber Mr. Smith had grown old and gray
Mr. Smith had just moved far far away
Teddiboo was a Spaazzoozle and don't you know
His hair would just grow and grow and grow
For a Spaazzoozle he wasn't to tall or scary
But Teddiboo was very hairy hairy hairy
Curly Q squiggles of yellow and red
Boy what a mess it made when he shed
His hair was dragging all over the ground
But alas, no barber could be found
With the party but a few hours away
He needed a haircut, he needed one today
Not a lot of people would know what to do
Asked by a Spaazzoozle for a haircut, would you
You need to have just the right kind of tools
Or your customers would all look like fools
Not only do you need really really big scissors
You also need skizzors and slizzors and swizzors
So off he went on his new mission
He was suffering from a hair condition
But this above all else was a must
He had to find someone he could trust
Teddiboo was as lovie as lovie could be
He would love you, he would love me
The he saw a big sign, could it be
Today only Spaazzoozle haircuts are free free free
So he ran and he ran fast down the street
Did you know that Spaazzoozzle's have tiny feet
With his big pillow hands he pushed open the door
And saw piles and piles of hair on the floor
The barber looked up and said,"no more haircuts I'm through
I've got far to much cleaning up to do."
Teddiboo pleaded,just one more haircut today
Then I promise I will jump up and go away
I've got money to pay, to pay you today
I will pay you this day with money I say
Go away? You will pay? the barber said with a stare
If you would sir please go sit in my chair
My name is barber Bill, how do you do
I will do one more haircut today, and I'll do it for you
Bowing his head he said "I am Teddiboo"
You are very kind sir and a big thank you to you
Barber Bill had really really big scissors
He also had Skizzors and Slizzors and Swizzors
And clippers and dippers, hair flippers and floppers
But most of all he had tippy tip toppers
With a flick of his wrist the hair started flying
He was cutting so fast, without even trying
He was just as nice as nice could be
Cutting and combing and talking with glee
That's the same thing Mr. Smith would do
When you get a haircut, does the barber talk to you?
Then he stopped and looked, was something not right
He reached in a cabinet and grabbed his hair light
Stepping back he squinted then said with a smile
I think I've created a new sensational style
With your Curly Q squiggles of yellow and red
This is the best hair I've ever cut, he said
It will make the cover of Hairdos Who's Who
And I will call it The Teddiboo Doo
Then he picked up his broom and gave a wink
As he swept and swept the piles of hair started to shrink
All the while he was whistling a little tune
He looked up and said,"please come back real soon"
It was very nice to meet you and with a grin
You better hurry the party is about to begin
Walking into The Jazgigglegaloon was a thrill
All made possible by his new friend barber Bill
THE END
