about

"Barbershop" is a look back at Blake's childhood, specifically recalling his first haircut ("When I was young my mom liked David Bowie / So my first haircut looked like David Bowie's / All the girls just loved me, I was only 3!"). The cover art of the EP that this song first appeared on was actually a photograph of Blake getting his first haircut. This song has existed in various forms for almost 3 years before it was finally recorded in Brooklyn in 2009.

lyrics

Movin' on up
I'm movin' on up
I'm moving back down

When I was young my mom loved David Bowie
So my first haircut looked like David Bowie's
All the girls just loved me, I was only three
Come inside the barber shop
Come along with me

Going to the barber shop with you, oh baby, you oh baby

We can do your hair up like miss Norma Jean's
Come inside the barbershop come along with me

You look so good
