Harry Hippie

Everybody claims that they want the best things outta life, ha

But not everyone, not everyone wanna go through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fella, walks around all day long singin'

Sha-na-na, da-da-da, la-da-da, da

Harry Hippie lies asleep in the shade

Life don't bug him 'cause he thinks he's got it made

He never worry 'bout nothin' in particular

But, ooh, he might even sell free press on Sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But I can't help him much when he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water

Harry just float through life

Walks around all day long singin' this song

Woah, woah, woah, yeah

Mary Hippie, she's Harry's lady

Panhandles pennies just to feed Harry's baby

She can lie down a story so incredible

Man, you wanna help her take the food home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But I can't help ya, Harry, if you wanna sleep on the ground

Sorry Harry, oh, you're too much weight to carry around

But he still walks around all day long singin' this song

Sha-da-da-da, sha-na-na-na-na-na

Sha-na-na-na-na, sha-la-la, da-da

Street child, street child, tell me where will you be goin'

When old man winter gets his horn and starts blowin'

Will you hang around LA or hitch a ride on a freeway?

Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But how can I help him if he's somewhere outta town?

Sorry, Harry, I think I'm gonna put you down

Sha-da-da-da, sha-da-da-da

Sha-la-la-la-la, da-da-da

Everybody help me sing this song

Oh yeah
