Side burns.
         G          D
On the side of my face.
       Em   C
As my head turns,
          G                       D
you can see they're in the same place.
            Em   C
On either side. Burns.
       G           D
They can't be replaced.
       Em    C
My insides burn,
         G            D
when I think of the days 
before my...
Em
My side burns.
C 
Look at my sideburns,
G
boy don't touch my sideburns,
D 
why would you do that?
Em
My heart yearns
C                G
for my own sideburns.
D
My side actually burns now, 
what is that?
Em
What the heck man,
C 
why does my side burn?
G
What the heck's going on?
D 
My side burns.

Em
Does anybody have
C 
some aloe vera?
G
If you do, bring it backstage,
D 
I'll pay you back.

Em               C  
Nineteen-eighty-five,
           G                 D
from the womb I came out (on my birthday)
 Em          C
The doctor said,
G                  D 
"What you crying about?"
Em        C 
I said, "Is that a rhetorical question?
G                D 
You know why I cried.
Em          C
I have a serious lack of
G             D
hair on the side... of my head.
Em
Little baby people
C 
don't have sideburns.
G
They gotta grow them
D 
when they're older.
Em
But if your little baby
C 
already has sideburns,
G
that's awesome!
D 
Don't be concerned.
Em     C
Don't be concerned
     G
about your little bitty baby
D 
with the big big sideburns.

Em          
You should not be
 C 
concerned or sound about
 G
the little itty bitty baby
D 
with the big big sideburns.
Em                           C
Your little baby gonna be a pimp.
G                                        D
Your little baby gonna be a little baby pimp.
 Em                    C
You should probably discourage
                G 
that kind of profession,
                 D
Because it's illegal.

  Em
And your baby's too
 C
young to be concerned
        G               
about starting a business,
      D
but that's impressive
         Em 
if it's got the mindset.
      Em
