The Gentleman's Grooming

[Verse] Met a fella down the alleyway He had a sign in hand "Manly grooming No mistake Come and join the band." [Verse 2] Fingers shaky Heart agape Walked into that room With a chair and jar of wax Faced impending doom [Chorus] Smooth as silk Ain’t it strange How a man can change his range From rugged grit to softer tone All for love or self-known [Verse 3] Hot wax spread A moment grim Grit my teeth in plight He said "Hold on to the rim" As the world turned white [Verse 4] Pain and beauty Side by side Sacrifice foreseen For a love that’s deeper still In the quest for sheen [Chorus] Smooth as silk Ain’t it strange How a man can change his range From rugged grit to softer tone All for love or self-known
