If I shaved my legs today
I’d have an afghan right away
I could braid myself a car cover too
hairs on my legs are more than a few
If I shaved my legs today
I could stop tripping when I go out to play
I could get my feet into a shoe
It is something I might have to do
Believe it or not I STOPPED shaving in 1962
My beard should be down to the floor
Well that's not exactly correct
Trim every couple of months or so
To attract the ladies and boy did that work
Can't keep them away with a weapon
Played 5-string banjo in a folk group in '62
Recorded an album and appeared on TV
So it was required to grow a beard
Although not that all unusual
Have a definite record of it
We were called The Canadiana Folksingers
Happy times!

I shaved my balls today!
By balls I mean a beautiful girl
By shaved I mean saw.
It is like a rainbow in ice.
Its sweet flavors taste so nice
There is lemon, lime, orange, and cherry.
Along comes grape, pineapple, and raspberry.
This frosty treat is an oriental specialty.
What a nice treat on any kind of day.
Come try some shaved ice today.
There once was a man with a beard.
That people thought was extremely weird.
He shaved it away
On a bright sunny day.
And now he's tremendously feared.
