Harry Hippy

Harry Hippy lies asleep in the shade

Life don't bug him, I know he's got it made

Always thinkin' 'bout nothing particular

Some nights he goes and sells the free press on Sunset

He doesn't have a worry in life

Even if it's wrong, it's got to be alright

Like a bottle of water, Harry's just'a floatin' through life

He walk around sayin'

Ba-dada-dada-da-da-dada-da

Dun-dundundun-dundun-ba-mm-da-da...

Mary Hippy, she's Harry's lady

She's panhandlin' pennies just to help feed Harry's babies

She lays down a story that's so incredible

Make you wanna take your food home and sit it on their table

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

But I can't help, Harry, when you're asleep on the ground

I'm sorry, Harry, you got too much weight to carry 'round

But Harry don't mind, he just walk around sayin'

Ba-dada-dada-da-da-dada-da

Dun-dundundun-dundun-ba-mm-da-da...

Street child, street child, where'll you be goin'?

When old man winter gets out his horn and starts blowin'

Hang around LA or hitch a ride on the freeway

Maybe find an old familiar face in a new place

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

I can't help, Harry, when you're leavin' town

I'm sorry, Harry, you got too much weight to carry 'round

Ba-dada-dada-da-da-dada-da

Ba-dada-dada-dada-doe

Ba-dada-dada-dada-doe...

But I ain't really knockin' Harry

'Cause it takes a lot of guts to carry that load
