what's o'clock
To cut a round head requires some skill,
But nothing to binding a cue, there's a thrill
In a nicely tied cue, I can't see how the girls
Can put up with a man who wears his own curls.
But fashion is fashion, the hussy, and I've
Been her very devoted since I've been alive.
And, thank God, she has not yet set her approval
On beards except in the way of removal.
I wish you could feel the delight I receive
When my razor slides over your skin, I'd as leave
Shave a man in his twenties as go to a play,
There's romance in it, Sir, when you see the soap spray
Into bubbles and lather, and your blade cuts a line
And lets through the smooth face like a moon, it's so fine
That I dream it sometimes. I've a soul for such fancies,
Old barbers like shaving as young girls like dances.
