Song is about young guys wearing long hair and being asked if accused of looking like a girl.
I guess it was common back then to harasss young guys and boys when they started growing their hair out by telling them they looked like girls and probably this band even had to deal with harassment themselves. a bit tongue in cheek.
does anyone know about the history of this song?

"Back in the mid-1960's long hair on boys was frowned upon. "
Yes it was frowned upon. Despite that in 1964 I proceeded to
grow my hair long. Finally grew it to waist length.
All the harrasment I got was from the school.
