[Intro]
Am G
 
[Verse 1]
G                        D
Well I know a girl named Henrietta.
      Am                 C
You’d know if you had or hadn’t met her.
G           D               Am
She had the world’s longest hair.  
G                        D
She hated having it brushed  
          Am                  C
or cut or combed or curled or even touched. 
G           D                Am
One day her mom just left it there. 
              G
Henrietta’s hair. 
 
[Verse 2]
G                           D
So it started off really small, you know, 
   Am              C
a lady bug, that’s all, 
G         D             Am
found its way up to her hair. 
          G                    D
He said, “I don’t know if it’s all right,
Am                          C
But I’d like to crash here for the night.
G          D                Am
That is if you have room to spare. 
 
I don’t need a bed or chair.”
 
[Chorus]
         G            D         C           G
And it’s enter if you dare into Henrietta’s hair. 
            C
Though it’s mangled and a mess,
    D
I’d like to think it’s blessed.
            G               D          C           G
And there’s room enough to share up in Henrietta’s hair.
    C            Am              D        G
Whatever else on earth, could it be there for?
 
[Verse 3]
G                      D
Well the word soon got around 
              Am               C
and all these creatures on the ground
G           D             Am
Found their way up to her hair. 
           G             D
There were creepy-crawly things
     Am                 C
Some birds with colored wings
       G                 D            Am
It was not an invitation-only kind of affair. 
                  G
In Henrietta’s hair. 
 
[Verse 4]
G                               D
Well it started gettin a little crowded up there
Am             C
in Henrietta’s hair. 
G              D                Am
Several of the residents wanted more than their fair share. 
        G             D
So this mosquito in a nest
       Am           C
Said I hate to be a pest
     G                   D                      Am
But, let’s not forget to write our moms lots of letters
 
And that we are merely guests.
 
[Chorus]
         G            D         C           G
And it’s enter if you dare into Henrietta’s hair. 
             C
Well it’s tattered and its torn
     D
To this life we’re born.
            G               D          C           G
And there’s room enough to share up in Henrietta’s hair.
    C            Am              D        G
Whatever else on earth, could it be there for?
 
[Verse 5]
G                      D
So Henrietta said come one, come all
           Am                         C
It doesn’t matter if you’re short or fat or tall
G                          D                Am
Or skinny or slimy or just stuck out on the road
           G                      D
It doesn’t matter who you know or what you do
     Am                       C
Everybody has the right to be tangled up in blue
        G            D        Am
In this heavenly and horrific hairdo
 
Just don’t forget to wear your shoes
 
[Chorus]
         G            D         C           G
And it’s enter if you dare into Henrietta’s hair. 
           C
Though its tangled and its twirled
     D
It’s beloved by all the world. 
             G              D          C           G
And there’s room enough to share up in Henrietta’s hair.
    C            Am              D        G
Whatever else on earth, could it be there for?
