Papa Dukie and the Mud People

Back in the day, in our sleep little town

Out of nowhere, a hippie band came around

They set up camp (down by the river)

Close to SoSo curve (behind the levee)

Folks said stay away (them people are dirty)

Tell Deputy Momio, get down there in a hurry

Nanananananananana...

He said they got them hippie girls

Taking off all their clothes

They're swimming in the river

Painting beads, making rainbows, and singing

Chorus:

Love is a beautiful thing

I can't wait to see what the new day brings

Love is a beautiful thing

Make you wanna dance, make you wanna holler

Nanananananananana...

I remember

Supper time conversation, opinions flew

I ain't sure about my daddy

I think he kinda liked the view

Brother said they ain't hurting nobody

(ain't hurting nobody)

Leave the Mud People alone

Momio said they ain't broken no laws

And I kinda like to hear that song

Chorus

The was patcouli incense

And weedsmoke in the air

It was all colors, it was all love

And it was allright

Me and my brother stayed right there

Singing all through the night

Chorus

Make you wanna dance, and cry, and

Laugh, and sing

Nananana...make you wanna holler

Nananana...down by the river

Nananana...behind the levee
