 Em    C 
Side burns. 
         G          D 
On the side of my face. 
       Em   C 
As my head turns, 
          G                       D 
you can see they're in the same place. 
            Em   C 
On either side. Burns. 
       G           D 
They can't be replaced. 
       Em    C 
My insides burn, 
         G            D 
when I think of the days  
before my... 
Em 
My side burns. 
C  
Look at my sideburns, 
G 
boy don't touch my sideburns, 
D  
why would you do that? 
Em 
My heart yearns 
C                G 
for my own sideburns. 
D 
My side actually burns now,  
what is that? 
Em 
What the heck man, 
C  
why does my side burn? 
G 
What the heck's going on? 
D  
My side burns. 

Em 
Does anybody have 
C  
some aloe vera? 
G 
If you do, bring it backstage, 
D  
I'll pay you back. 

Em               C   
Nineteen-eighty-five, 
           G                 D 
from the womb I came out (on my birthday) 
 Em          C 
The doctor said, 
G                  D  
"What you crying about?" 
Em        C  
I said, "Is that a rhetorical question? 
G                D  
You know why I cried. 
Em          C 
I have a serious lack of 
G             D 
hair on the side... of my head. 
Em 
Little baby people 
C  
don't have sideburns. 
G 
They gotta grow them 
D  
when they're older. 
Em 
But if your little baby 
C  
already has sideburns, 
G 
that's awesome! 
D  
Don't be concerned. 
Em     C 
Don't be concerned 
     G 
about your little bitty baby 
D  
with the big big sideburns. 

Em           
You should not be 
 C  
concerned or sound about 
 G 
the little itty bitty baby 
D  
with the big big sideburns. 
Em                           C 
Your little baby gonna be a pimp. 
G                                        D 
Your little baby gonna be a little baby pimp. 
 Em                    C 
You should probably discourage 
                G  
that kind of profession, 
                 D 
Because it's illegal. 

  Em 
And your baby's too 
 C 
young to be concerned 
        G                
about starting a business, 
      D 
but that's impressive 
         Em  
if it's got the mindset. 
      Em
