Hair, the hippie musical, Texas State (video)

HAIR (Texas State Univ.), Pat Macpherson, Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

With the passing of the years, ‘Hair’ has grown thin in 2020 (The Boston Globe)

"When the Moon is the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars," or so says the 5th Dimension in their hit "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" (and Flesh Failures) from the musical Hair. But what does the Hair Tribe say in "Going Down"?

The musical HAIR, Texas State University with Kaleb Quinn as Berger

"Going Down"

Cupid/Eros=Kama/Mara Devaputra

LYRICS: [BERGER:] Me and Lucifer/ Lucifer and me/ Just like the angel that fell/ Banished forever to hell/ Today have I been expelled/ From high school heaven/ Elevator going down/ Going down/ Going down/ Everybody going down/ Going down/ Going down/ This is my doom/ My humiliation/ October, not June/ And it's summer vacation/ Such a disgrace/ How can I face the nation?/ Why should this pain/ Bring me such strange elation?

[BERGER & TRIBE:] Elevator going down/ Going down/ Going down/ Everybody going down/ Going down/ Going down

[BERGER:] Emancipation proclamation/ Oh, Dr. Lincoln/ My head needs shrinkin'/ Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu/ Lucifer and me/ Doomed from here to eternity/ Baaa baaa baaa

[BERGER & TRIBE:] Going up, going down/ Going down/ Going down/ Everybody going up/ Going down/ Going

[BERGER & (TRIBE):] Down down, everybody going/ (Down down, everybody going)/ Down down down, whoa/ (Down down, everybody going)/ Forgive me if I don't cry/ (Down down, everybody going)/ It's like the Fourth of July/ (Down down, everybody going)/ Thank Gawd that angels can fly/ (Down down, everybody going)

[BERGER & TRIBE:] Down down down/ Going down down down/ Going down down down/ Going down

LYRICS: "Donna"

Hair (The New Broadway Cast Recording)

[BERGER:] Oh, once upon a looking for Donna time

There was a 16-year-old virgin

Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh

Looking for my Donna

Just got back from looking for Donna

San Francisco psychedelic urchin

Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh

Looking for my Donna

Have you seen my 16-year-old tattooed woman?

Heard a story she got busted for her beauty

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Once upon a looking for Donna time

Never gonna end my searching

Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh

Looking for my Donna

I've been to India

And saw the yogi life

In South America

The Indian smoke glows bright

I'm reincarnated and so are we all

And in this lifetime we'll rise

Before we fall

[TRIBE:] Before we fall

[BERGER & TRIBE:]

Once upon a looking for Donna time

There was a 16-year-old virgin

Oh, Donna, oh oh, Donna, oh oh oh

Looking for my Donna

[BERGER:]

And I'm gonna show her life on Earth

Can be sweet

Gonna lay my mutated head at her feet

And I'm gonna love her

Make love to her

'Til the sky turns brown

I'm evolving

I'm evolving

Through the drugs

That you put down

[TRIBE:] That you put down...
