Lyrics
Verse
Eli stands with Mae in the square,
Barber's pole is battered there,
Rusted canopy, the queue is long,
She borrows a hat, she sings a song.
Chorus
When the sun slips through the grey,
The whole town learns to sway,
Haircuts turn to dancing feet,
Oh, ain't that a treat!
Verse
Barber hands the clippers round,
Strangers buzz each other's crown,
Mae she twirls, her skirt a-spin,
Eli grins, his heart worn thin.
Chorus
When the sun slips through the grey,
The whole town learns to sway,
Haircuts turn to dancing feet,
Oh, ain't that a treat!
Bridge
The light hits the pole, a glint of gold,
A hidden trumpet starts to unfold,
The barber blows a lively riff,
The line becomes a dancing skiff.
Chorus
When the sun slips through the grey,
The whole town learns to sway,
Haircuts turn to dancing feet,
Oh, ain't that a treat!
