Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bumper Sticker Song (Larry Groce)
Subject: Lyr Req: Bumper Sticker Song (early 70's)
Back in the 70's I had a small tape recorder and I loved to tape pretty much anything off the air. I captured the final stanza to a song made up of bumper sticker slogans:
"Now there's nothing wrong with sticking on a sign We'll always found some outlet for our wills And even though my own car has a clean behind There ain't no warning there to post no bills.
And I always thought that bumpers were for stopping accidents Back windows were for lookin' out to see.
"Visit Royal Gorge, Dump Nixon" "If you can read this sign you are too close" If you hate cops when you're in trouble call a hippie Dimmit dammit, No Comment, Down With Hot Pants And Have a Very Nice Day"
I did enough research on the web to discover that the song was by Larry Gross, erstwhile folk singer and currently host of "Mountain Stage" but I have not been able to locate a copy of the song or the full lyrics.
I figure if anyone else knows this song, it would be a member of Mudcat, and it's not out of the question that someone here knows Larry and he'll consent to post 'em!
