Harry Hippie

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

But not everyone, not everyone

Wanna go through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fella walks around all day long singin'

Sha na dah dah, dah lah, dah dah, dah dah

Harry Hippie, lies asleep in the shade

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

He never worry about 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 floats through life

Walks around all day long singin' this song

Whoa, whoa, whoa, oh 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 dah dah dah, sha nah nah nah nah nah

Sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah dah

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, think I'm gonna put you down

Sha dah dah dah, sha dah dah dah dah

Sha lah lah lah lah, dah dah dah dah

Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah (sha lah lah lah, sha lah lah lah)
