[INTRO — CATCHY, STRAIGHT INTO GROOVE] “Hey! Remember me?” Turn around. ... Oh yeah. Now I do. [VERSE 1] Can't make it through the grocery store without somebody saying hey. I know I know you from somewhere— just don't make me guess your name. Give me half a second, let me see you from behind. There it is. Now I know you. Works almost every time. [PRE-CHORUS] Some people remember faces. Some remember names. Me? I've got a completely different filing system in my brain. [CHORUS] Everybody knows the barber, everywhere I go. Somebody's yelling, “Hey, remember me?” Yeah— turn around, then I'll know. I don't need to be famous. I'm barber famous around here. Half this town already knows my name— I know everybody from the rear. Barber famous. It's a very different kind of fame. You remember exactly who I am— I remember your haircut, not your name. [VERSE 2] See you at the gas station, you look vaguely familiar. Then you turn around— Oh! Tuesday. Ten-thirty. Every six weeks. Gotcha. You say, “Wow, you remembered!” Absolutely. Let's leave it there. Because I still can't remember your first name to save my life. [PRE-CHORUS] Some people remember birthdays. Some remember cars. I can spot a haircut from halfway across a parking lot. [CHORUS] Everybody knows the barber, everywhere I go. Somebody's yelling, “Hey, remember me?” Yeah— turn around, then I'll know. I don't need to be famous. I'm barber famous around here. Half this town already knows my name— I know everybody from the rear. Barber famous. It's a very different kind of fame. You remember exactly who I am— I remember your haircut, not your name. [BRIDGE — MUSIC DROPS] Then comes the dangerous question: “What was my name again?” ... I know this. Give me a second. Don't tell me. ... Turn around. [BEAT RETURNS] Yep. Still don't know your name. But you're a number two on the sides. [FINAL CHORUS — BIG, PLAYFUL] Everybody knows the barber, everywhere I go. Somebody's always waving like I'm somebody they know. No cameras. No headlines. Don't need my name in lights. I'm barber famous around here— and honestly, that suits me fine. Barber famous. That's my particular kind of fame. Half this town already knows exactly who I am— I remember your haircut... [STOP] still working on your name. [OUTRO] “Hey! Remember me?” Turn around. ... Yep. Barber famous.
