I’ve got big hair and I don’t care And even though the kids may stare I lift my hands up in the air Then smile and say…

I love my hair!

I’ve got big hair, my friend does too And at the movies and the zoo It often blocks out all the view So never sit behind us two!

Sometimes I lose at hide and seek But hair like this is so unique

Braids

Twists

And puffs are all so chic

My hair is different every week

I’ve got big hair and just for fun I put my dog’s hair in a bun

And then we go out for a run And laugh and play out in the sun

My hair is big and full of flair It’s like a fancy hat I wear So sit behind me if you dare Oh how I really love my hair!

I’ve got big hair and I’m so proud It’s soft and fluffy like a cloud And even when it’s really loud You can still find me in a crowd

My hair looks like a cotton ball And though I’m short it makes me tall You’ll see me walking down the hall Bookbag and books Big hair and all

I’ve got big hair and I don’t care And even though the kids may stare I lift my hands up in the air Then smile and say I love my hair!
