Harry Hippie Lyrics
Now, everybody claims that they want the best things outta life
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna go through the toil and strife
Like this particular fellow walks around all day long singing
Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na
Harry Hippie lies asleep in the shade
Life don't bug him cause he thinks he's got it made
He never worry about nothing in particular
Ooo, 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 sleeping on the ground
He's like a bottle in water
Harry's just floatin through life
(Sha na na, sha na na, na na)
Walks around all day long singing this song
(Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na)
Oh, 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
I can't help you, 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, singing this song
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na (sha na na, na na)
Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na
Sweet child, street child, tell me where will you be going
When old man winter gets his horn and starts blowing
Will you hang around LA? Hitch a ride on the 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 na na, sha na na na (sha na na, na na)
Sha na na, na na, na na, (na na, na na)
Everybody help me sing this song (Sha na na, sha na na, na na
Oh yeah (Sha na na, na na, na na, na na...)
Ha, but not everyone, not everyone wanna go through the toil and strife
Like this particular fellow walks around all day long singing
Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na
Life don't bug him cause he thinks he's got it made
He never worry about nothing in particular
Ooo, 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 sleeping on the ground
He's like a bottle in water
Harry's just floatin through life
(Sha na na, sha na na, na na)
Walks around all day long singing this song
(Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na)
Oh, oh, yeah
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
I can't help you, 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, singing this song
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na (sha na na, na na)
Sha na na, na na, na na, na na, na na

Sorry Harry, I think I'm gonna put you down
Sha na na, sha na na na (sha na na, na na)
Sha na na, na na, na na, (na na, na na)
Everybody help me sing this song (Sha na na, sha na na, na na
Oh yeah (Sha na na, na na, na na, na na...)
