From the Harrisburg Telegraph, March 15, 1915.
Jimmy’s had a hair cut!
How the folks all stare!
It’s so short you see his skin
Showing through his hair.
‘Twasn’t what he had before,
Cut all round a bowl;
It was in that barber store
By the candy pole.
Jimmy’s had a hair cut!
We were there to see,
Looking through the window pane—
All the boys with me.
He was worried there alone,
Trying hard to grin,
On a kind of great big throne,
Wrapped up to his chin.
Jimmy’s had a hair cut!
Course it scared him some.
All those shears and cups and things
Sort of struck him dumb.
Jimmy’s mother saved a curl—
She feels bad, I know,
That he wasn’t born a girl,
And could let it grow.
Jimmy’s had a hair cut—
My! It made him proud!
Walking out, while all of us
Followed in a crowd.
He got pretty rich that day,
‘Fore he went to bed;
He made every fellow pay
Just to smell his head.
