There are 8 words that are wrong; find them and write the correct words
I got my head shaved
By a barber
It wasn't easy
But everything is, no
When I feel like classical music
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm bad
All of the time but I'm always sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head done
When I was old
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel like heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I hate you
Nice to meet you
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah


Post-listening Activity: Discussion questions
When do you feel pins and needles?
Would you ever shave your head why or why not?
Is it better to lie or tell the truth even when the truth will hurt someone?
If you don't tell a person something, is that better than lying to them?
Do you think it is alright to lie in certain situations? What are those situations?

Full Lyrics

I got my head shaved
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is, no
When I feel like heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head done
When I was young
It's not my problem
It's not my problem
When I feel like heavy metal
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure when I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
