Hair Spray Heaven

This Here's A Little Story
Of The Actual Events
How One Angel Met With Glory
At The Cost Of Ninety-Cents

We All Call Her; "Angel Betty"
Since Her Maker She's Now Met
Her Demise Was "Lookin' Pretty"
And The Killer ~ AQUA-NET

Betty's Life Was Surely Pampered
But Consumed By Vanity
And Her Health Severely Hampered
By That "ME" Philosophy

Captivated With Her Mirror
Betty Languished Everyday
But Her Death Was Drawing Nearer
Everytime She Used Hair-Spray

Betty's Hair, Her True Obsession
She Would Curl, Comb, And Re-Spray
And As Legend Tells ~ Confession
Of Addiction To That Spray

Well, "Miss Betty" Was Good Lookin'
And At Times Seemed Self-Absorbed
Spent More Time On Her Hair Than Cookin'
But, She Deeply Loved Her LORD

You See, As Tale Tells It . . .
All Those Hours With That Mirror
She Would Talk To GOD, As They Sit
And Things Always Looked Much Clearer

So; One Day As Heaven Looked Down
And "Miss Betty" Wouldn't Talk
Her Mirror Only Showed A Frown
That's When They Checked Their Clock

That Morning, Our "Miss Betty"
Looking Lovely As Each Day
Was Sent Some Stylish Wings For Free
By One Last Mist Of Spray

~ You See ~

All Those Many Years Inhalin'
Fumes From Aerosol Hair Spray
Got "Miss Betty's" Health To Failin'
As She Primped Her Curls Each Day

So, Include With All Those "Warnings"
~ From Cigarettes ~ To Booze
Sometimes Fixin' Hair In Mornings
Can Cause "Eternal Snooze"

This Story Really Happened
And Her True Name Not Revealed
Just Felt The Need To Share My Friend
So Your Fate Won't Be Sealed

Our Town Sure Misses "Betty"
But Know We'll Meet Again
And We're Sure She's Still As Pretty
Up In That "Hair Spray Heaven"
