GIRLS IN WINDOWS
MMMMMMM.... OOOOOOH.... AAAAHHHH....
YEAH.... etc.
ALONZO
THERE’S A GIRL I LOVE BUT SHE’S LOCKED
UP IN A TOWER.
SITTIN’ HOUR AFTER HOUR, WILTIN’ LIKE
A FLOWER.
PUT THERE BY NO OTHER
THAN HER EVIL-LOVIN’ MOTHER!
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
NOT HER BROTHER, BUT HER MOTHER?
WHO COULD DO THAT TO ANOTHER?
ALONZO
MAYBE SHE'S PROTECTING HER?
MAYBE SHE'S CORRECTING HER?
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
MAYBE SHE'S PERFECTING HER!
ALONZO
NAH!
PROB’LY WHAT’D SHE’D SAY: IT’S HER
MOTHERLY DUTY
BUT I JUST THINK SHE’S JEALOUS OF HER
‘CREDIBLE BEAUTY
BUT IT AIN’T ABOUT HER LOOKS OR THE
WAY SHE DRESSES
WHAT’S MUSIC TO MY EYES ARE THOSE LONG
CRAZY TRESSES!
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
LOCKING UP HER KID! THAT’S KINDA
WHACK!
HOPE YOU’RE PLANNING ON A SNEAK
ATTACK!
ALONZO
SNEAK ATTACK, SNEAK ATTACK!
FROM WHERE I’M STANDING, GIRL
CAN’T REACH A SINGLE CURL
CUZ YOU’RE TEN STORIES AWAY
TEN STORIES AWAY!
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
RAPUNZEL, RAPUNZEL
ALONZO
GIRL, LET DOWN YOUR HAIR
YOU’RE LOCKED UP IN THAT CASTLE
SO HIGH UP IN THE AIR
ALONZO/GIRLS IN WINDOW
RAPUNZEL, RAPUNZEL
ALONZO
DROP THAT WEAVE FROM SKY SO BLUE
AND I'LL CLIMB IT LIKE A LADDER RIGHT
ON UP TO YOU.
ALONZO/GIRLS IN WINDOWS
I’LL/HE’LL CLIMB IT LIKE A LADDER
RIGHT ON UP TO YOU!
ALONZO
IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT HER LOCKS ARE SO
WILD
HAIR THAT LONG? SHE’S BEEN LOCKED UP
SINCE A CHILD
ALL THIS TIME WITH NO WAY TO PRIMP AND
PREEN
JUST ACHING TO BE STYLED
BY THE KING OF SHEEN
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
BY WHO?
ALONZO
BY ME! A HUMBLE BARBER
SEE, MY NAME’S ALONZO GREEN
BUT THEY CALL ME “THE KING OF SHEEN”
SEE, MY STYLES ARE THE BADDEST, THE
MADDEST
THIS TOWN’S EVER SEEN
FROM BED STUY TO CONEY I
YOU KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN’?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
OH! ALONZO GREEN! ALONZO GREEN!
THE KING OF SHEEN! ALONZO GREEN!
WHATCHA GONNA DO IF YOU GET THE CHANCE
FOR MORE THAN JUST A STOLEN GLANCE?
ALONZO
I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THOSE SPLIT ENDS
AND GIVE ‘EM A GOOD SNIP!
I’M GONNA SQUEEZE ‘EM, GONNA TEASE
‘EM,
FROM EACH ROOT TO THE TIP
I’M GONNA BRAID IT, SERENADE IT
BLOW DRY IT, TIE-DYE IT
RE-FORM IT AND RESHAPE IT
GIRLS IN WINDOWS
YOU’LL EVEN LANDSCAPE IT!
ALONZO
FROM WHERE I’M STANDING, GIRL
CAN’T REACH A SINGLE CURL
CUZ YOU’RE TEN STORIES AWAY
TEN STORIES AWAY.
