Does anyone on the blog know of a descent barber in the neighborhood
since Buck's seems to have closed?
Dan
This bring to mind the following:
La, la, etc.
I am the barber of Seminole Heights, make way! La, la, etc.
Quickly, it’s dawn and I must be in my shop! Quickly! La, la, etc.
Refrain: Ah, this is livin’
So much I’ve been given (2X)
For a barber who’s driven
To be the best! (2X)
Ah, bravo Figaro!
Bravo, bravissimo, bravo!
La, la, etc.
Luckiest man in the world, it is true, bravo! La, la, etc.
Luckiest man in the world, it is true (2X) La, la, etc.
Daytime or nighttime, I’m working full-time, I’m always moving, I never quit.
No better life could a barber wish for, nothing more noble could ever exist. La, la, etc.
Razors and brushes, scissors and scalpels are at my fingertips
Everything’s here.
Then there’s the ‘extras.’
Part of the business.
Some for the ladies, some for the gentlemen.
Some for the ladies, la, la, etc.
Some for the gentlemen, la, la, etc.
Repeat Refrain.
Everyone calls me, everyone wants me,
Ladies and young men, old men and maidens
Where is my wig, sir? Give me a shave, please…
Leeches for bleeding…
Letters for reading…
Everyone calls me, everyone wants me, (2X)
Where is my wig, sir?
Give me a shave, please!
Letters for reading!
Hey! Figaro! Figaro! Figaro! Etc.
Oh my, they’re loud!
Oh my, those crowds…
Surround me!
One at a time,
For pity’s sake! (3X)
One at a time please (3X)
For pity’s sake!
Figaro! I’m here.
Hey, Figaro! I’m here.
Figaro here, Figaro there (2X)
Figaro up, Figaro down (2X)
Faster and faster I fly like a lightning bolt,
I am the barber of Seminole Heights.
Of Seville (4X)
Ah, bravo Figaro! Bravo, bravissimo (2X)
All of my luck (2X)
All of my luck it will not fade away. La, la, etc.
All of my luck (2X)
All of my luck it will not fade away.
I am the barber of Seminole Heights. (2X)
Yes of Seminole Heights! (3X)
What does an opera/song have to do with helping this guy find a barber? This blog starting to be lame.
ReplyDeleteI can only tell you that the old guy at Hanna and Central, God Bless him, is a terrible hair cutter. I went to him and I had to slouch in the chair. He is getting up in age, and can't even see what he is doing. He really messed up my difficult cut: a crew cut. In the end, I had to actually hold the clippers and DO IT MYSELF!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, as the guy at Hanna and Central will tell you, he has been cutting hair for over 55 years in the same location. After an open heart surgery and God knows what else. I just feel so bad he still has to cut hair at 80 years of age, and that he is so bad at it.
I reccommend going to King Corona Cigars in Ybor. There is a barber in the shop, Scott Matis. He used to be my neighbor when I lived in Ybor. He is great. An old skool cat and a passionate barber.
Can I have my hair cut without risking lung cancer?
ReplyDeleteGlen Johnson next door to the old barber does men's hair. Check him out. Hanna and Central.
