    A BucketHead original about his time spent waiting tables. Anyone who has ever tried this particular vocation will understand immediately, those who havn't will still have a good laugh. Blue Hairs are old ladies in restaurant terms, and they have a style all their own!

    Story Behind the Song
    Believe it or not this song started out as a play! A woman I waited tables with wanted me to write some songs based around the restaurant experience, this was the first of what was going to be many, but the play never came to be, so I was stuck with this song. The song is a cult favorite at the many resaurants I've worked at, and a perenial party favorite.

    Lyrics
    The hostess came in back,
    she had a smile on her face
    She told me I'd been sat and disappeared without a trace
    The table had the menus,
    the silverware was set
    I didn't see the people,
    but I smelled the Aqua-Net

    What have I done Lord,
    What did I do

    Now they got the bright blue hair,
    and they pile it up high
    Bi-focal eyes
    with a lipstick smile
    A little dash of perfume
    then another gallon more
    They're looking for the bathroom
    before the walkers through the door

    What have I done lord,
    what did I do
    to get these
    Blue Hair Blues

    Now they got a bag of photographs
    from birth to yesterday
    A magnifying glass to help make out the shapes
    They don't need a menu,
    just going to have soup
    I havn't had my real teeth since 1942

    What have I done lord,
    what did I do

    "Now young man I need a glass of water,
    I fell a little ill"
    Arthritic hands juggle bottles as she lines up the pills
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
    They might be closer to heaven,
    but I'm stuck in hell
    Blue Hair Hell

    "Now did you hear about Ethel,she lost her hip, and Mables only son won't take her on the family trip"
    "And Francines gallbladder just ain't what it used to be, she has to drink a lot of water, but it hurts when she pees!"

    What have I done lord,
    what did I do

    "Now waiter-man I've got something on my mind, if I order up a salad I need the dressing on the side, and I can't have Walnuts, Croutons, or Cheese, and I'm going to need a bib to keep my nipples off my knees!"

    What have I done lord,
    What did I do
    To get these Blue Hair Blues
