Everybody claims that they want the best things outta life |
|
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna got through the toils and strifes |
|
Like this particular fellah, walks around all day long singin' this song |
|
Sha na lah 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 |
|
Oh, 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 money 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, you're too much weight to carry around |
|
But he still walks around all day singin' this song |
|
Sha dah dah dah sha nah nah nah nah nah |
|
Nah sha lah lah lah lah 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 |
|
Everybody help me sing this song, oh yeah |
