Let Your Hair Down, Baby
You're so smug and satisfied
Darned if I don't burn inside
Let your hair down, baby, and be yourself

Gosh, you look so dignified
But you've got entirely too much pride
Let your hair down, baby, and be yourself

Now, why don't you act like other folks?
Can't you laugh at funny jokes?
Join the crowd and make your move
'Cause it's so easy to get in the groove

Wipe that silly smile off your face
You're not gettin' any place
Let your hair down, baby, and be yourself

Now, why don't you act like other folks?
Can't you laugh at a funny joke?
Join the crowd and make your move
'Cause it's so easy to get in the groove

You wonder why you're ostracized
Why don't you go and get psychoanalyzed?
Let your hair down, baby, and be yourself
