Lynn Levin - Dippity-Do lyrics

I hated my hair and wished it were straight so that I could wear it in a swing or the London Look. I wanted my hair to be smooth so the popular girls would talk to me at school. Also wished my father didn't get mad almost every night. Once he knocked all the rollers from my head. The few bobby pins left dangled like snot from the wild curls I'd finally caught with just enough Dippity-do. I think that set took me an hour. After that, I let my hair go free. The straight kids thought I was a head. You look like Janice Joplin, the hippies said. And, hey, that was good enough for me.
