Lyrics
From Episode 3--Are You My Neighbor
Narrator: "Our curtain opens as Larry, having just finished his morning
bath, is searching for his hairbrush. Having no success, Larry cries out
.."
Larry: "Oh, where is my hairbrush? Oh where is my hairbrush? Oh, where,
oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh,
where oh, where ... is my hairbrush?"
Narrator: "Having heard his cry, Pa Grape enters the scene. Shocked and
slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a towel, Pa regains his
composure and reports ..."
Pa: "I think I saw a hairbrush back there!"
Larry: "Back there is my hairbrush. Back there is my hairbrush. Back
there, back there, oh, where, back there, oh, where, oh, where, back
there, back there, back there ... is my hairbrush?"
Narrator: "Having heard his joyous proclamation, Junior Asparagus enters
the scene. Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a
towel, Junior regains his composure and comments ..."
Junior: "Why do you need a hairbrush? You don't have any hair!"
Narrator: "Larry is taken aback. The thought had never occured to him.
No hair? What would this mean? What will become of him? What will become
of his hairbrush? Larry wonders ..."
Larry: "No hair for my hairbrush. No hair for my hairbrush. No hair, no
hair, no where, no hair, no hair, no hair, no where back there, no hair
.. for my hairbrush."
Narrator: "Having heard his wonderings, Bob the Tomato enters the scene.
Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of Larry in a towel, Bob
regains his composure and confesses ..."
Bob: "Larry, that old hairbrush of yours ... Well, you never use it, you
don't really need it. So, well, I'm sorry ... I didn't know. But I gave
it to the Peach - 'cause he's got hair!"
Narrator: "Feeling a deep sense of loss, Larry stumbles back and laments
.."
Larry: "Not fair! Oh, my hairbrush. Not fair! My poor hairbrush. Not
fair, not fair, no hair, not fair, no where, no hair, not fair, not
fair, not fair! My little hairbrush!"
Narrator: "Having heard his lament, the Peach enters the scene. Himself
in a towel, both Larry and the Peach are shocked and slightly
embarrassed at the sight of each other. But recognizing Larry's
generosity, the Peach is thankful ..."
Peach: "Thanks for the hairbrush."
Narrator: "Yes, good has been done here. The Peach exits the scene.
Larry smiles, but, still feeling an emotional attachment for the
hairbrush, calls out ..."
Larry: "Take care of my hairbrush. Take care, oh my hairbrush. Take
care, take care, don't dare not care. Take care. Nice hair. No fair.
Take care, take care ... of my hairbrush."
Narrator: "The end!"

VeggieTales: The Hairbrush Song - Silly Song
Meaning & Inspiration
The Hairbrush Song, a beloved classic from VeggieTales, originally released as part of the *And Now It’s Time for Silly Songs with Larry (The Complete Collection / 20th Anniversary Edition)* in 2013, masterfully uses a simple premise to convey a profound truth about our relationship with God, specifically His knowledge and care for us. While seemingly a humorous tale of Larry the Cucumber’s frantic search for his misplaced hairbrush, the song’s underlying message resonates deeply with biblical principles of God’s omnipresence and His personal investment in His creation. The narrative highlights a moment of human frustration and the perceived insignificance of a lost object, yet it pivots to a divine perspective. God, as depicted through Larry’s eventual realization, knows every detail of our lives, even down to the seemingly trivial items we own and use. This echoes the sentiment found in Matthew 10:29-30, where Jesus assures us that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without our Father’s knowledge, and further emphasizes this divine attention by stating that the very hairs on our heads are numbered. The song, therefore, becomes a delightful illustration of Psalm 139, particularly verses where David marvels at God’s intimate understanding of him, from his thoughts to his actions, even before they are fully formed. The joy and relief Larry experiences upon finding his hairbrush, understanding that God was aware of its location all along, mirrors the peace and security believers find in knowing they are never truly lost or overlooked by their Heavenly Father. It's a powerful reminder that no concern is too small for God’s attention, fostering a sense of comfort and trust that He is actively involved in every facet of our existence, guiding and caring for us with meticulous love, much like a loving parent who knows exactly where their child’s favorite toy is.
