The Lyrics
Whoops, wrong hairpiece!
It was dark, I guess the night
Was still lingering outside
Hard to see before dawn breaks
That's why this is my green toupee
Look a twit, that I'll admit
But I will grin and bear with it
Not much at risk right here today
By sticking with my bright green toupee
Got this wig for a dumb plan
That I once had, but alas
From my failed Cosmo cosplay
Stuck today with the green toupee
Looks stupid, won't deny it
Never been one to up and quit
Until I get back home today
I'll look silly with my green toupee
Back at home, my real wig waits
This green toupee rests in its place
Other types of coloured wigs
Are grouped there, seems dumb, I guess
Asking to miss when I get dressed
The right one might never get to rest
On my head, that's worth this weird day
I spent in my green toupee
Was still lingering outside
Hard to see before dawn breaks
That's why this is my green toupee
Look a twit, that I'll admit
But I will grin and bear with it
Not much at risk right here today
By sticking with my bright green toupee
Got this wig for a dumb plan
That I once had, but alas
From my failed Cosmo cosplay
Stuck today with the green toupee
Looks stupid, won't deny it
Never been one to up and quit
Until I get back home today
I'll look silly with my green toupee
Back at home, my real wig waits
This green toupee rests in its place
Other types of coloured wigs
Are grouped there, seems dumb, I guess
Asking to miss when I get dressed
The right one might never get to rest
On my head, that's worth this weird day
I spent in my green toupee
And for some reason, I got green hair. You gotta have green hair.
