[Verse 1]
Toupee or not toupee
That is the question
It refused to stay as it all turned grey
William Shakespeare's receding hair

Please excuse the pun
'It's hair today, gone tomorrow'
So I'll be thankful
For what precious locks you have

[Verse 2]
Toupee or not toupee
That is the question
And by the way I just got to say
Thank the Lord I'm not going bald

And if I may quip
My curls and I
Are just like heaven
'Cause rest assured
There'll be no parting there

But should my head get bare like Friar Tuck
(Hard cheese to swallow)
It makes me smile
'Cause I know just what I'd do

[Verse 3]
Yeah if I had more wigs than I knew what to do with
I'd open a second hand store
And if you ever went bald
You'd recall it
'Cause I'd cleverly call it
"Rugs From Me To You"

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
