I Should'A Read the Fine Print

I should'a read the fine print
when into the hairdresser's I did go
no guarantee that the shade or tint
won't end up indigo

I looked like a parrot 
all they said was with a laugh
better than looking like a carrot
asked if I wanted to buy a scarf

I should'a read the fine print
after I hit her with my shoe
when they called the police
asking what caused the to-do

said I wasn't supposed to look like parrot
a golden blonde was what I wanted
you should'a read the fine print
is what the policeman quoted.

I am sitting in a cell my mind is awhirl
I look like a blue parrot in a cage
first person who says what a pretty girl
will be the victim of my rage.
