Sunburn Dandruff Blues

The other day 

I spent a little

Too much time out in the sun

Without my hat

Without my lotion

My poor scalp got quite well done

Now it’s drying

Now it’s peeling

Got the sunburn dandruff blues

White flakes on my

Head and shoulders

Little snowdrifts round my shoes

My poor head

Feels like it’s glowing

Like a lightbulb in the night

With a breeze

The flakes surround me

Moths attracted to the light

Salt on pretzels 

Powdered donuts

Ain’t got nuthin’ on my head

When I sneeze

And start a blizzard

The neighbor kid gets out his sled

Some might think me

Too dramatic

But I swear it’s mostly true

And you’ll also

Know the truth when

Sunburn dandruff blues get you
