He wore a beard
To which his mustache was tethered
He wore a beard
As black as his jacket of leather
He wore a beard
To protect his chin from the weather

And beneath that beard was a youthful face
That made a lie of his years
And beneath that beard was a charming smile
That joined the two of his ears

He wore a beard
To which his mustache was tethered
He wore a beard
As black as his jacket of jet-black leather
He wore a beard
To protect his chin from the weather

And beneath that beard was a lovely soul
That lights up every night
And above that beard was a brilliant brain
That sparkles in the morning light, oh

So wear your beard and keep it neat
And all the flowers'll fall at your feet
A little facial foliage works a treat
Wear your beard, wear your beard

He wore a beard
To which his mustache was tethered
He wore a beard
As black as his boots of Spanish leather
He wore a beard
Primarily to shield his chin
And his neck from the adverse weather
