My Dad had a beard Coz my Dad wasn't shit When he died I decided I Would grow one just like it
I grew it large and I grew it long I grew it thick and I grew it strong
Then I had to find a job But at the job interview They told me I'd have to shave The beard that I had just grew
They said 'We have a no-beard policy' I said 'You can't do this to me!' I said
I won't shave I won't do what you say I won't shave I'm not gonna shave my beard away I won’t listen to what you say I don't need your job, don't need your pay This beard is mine and this beard stays
So I went to Centrelink Thought I'd get me some welfare But the lady at the counter Didn't like my facial hair
She said: 'You'll have to shave first, sir' So I stood up and yelled this at her: I yelled
I won't shave I won't do what you say I won't shave I'm not gonna shave my beard away I won’t listen to what you say I don't need your welfare, don't need your pay This beard is mine and this beard stays
So I wandered far from home Travelling across the land And I spread my bearded message Singing in my novelty band So if you're bearded and you’re proud Sing with us, and sing it loud. We'll all sing
We won't shave We won't do what you say We won't shave We're not gonna shave our beards away We've got beards and that's OK You’re not my real father anyway These beards are ours and these beards stay
