On nights like thisWhen the world's a bit amissAnd the lights go down across the trailer parkI get down, I feel hadI feel on the verge of going madAnd then it's time to punch the clockI put on some make-upAnd turn on the tape deckAnd pull the wig back on my headSuddenly I'm Miss Midwest Midnight checkout queenUntil I head homeAnd I put myself to bedI look back on where I'm fromLook at the woman I've becomeAnd the strangest things seem suddenly routineI look up from my Vermouth on the rocksThe gift wrapped wig still in the boxOf towering velveteenI put on some make-upSome Lavern BakerI'm pulling the wig down from the shelfSuddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963Until I wake upAnd I turn back to myselfSome girls they have natural easeThey wear it any way they pleaseWith their French flip curls and perfumed magazinesWear it up, let it downThis is the best way that I've foundTo be the best you've ever seenI put on some make-upTurn on the eight-tackI'm pulling the wig down from the shelfSuddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett from TVUntil I wake upAnd I turn back to myselfShag, bi-level, Bob, Dorothy Hamill doSausage curl, chicken wings, it's all because of youWith your blow dried, feather backed Toni home wave, tooFlip, for, frizz, flop, it's all because of youIt's all because of you, it's all because of youOkayEverybodyI put on some make-upTurn up the eight trackI'm pulling the wig down from the shelfSuddenly I'm this punk rock star of stage and screenAnd I ain't neverI'm never turning back
