Subject: Lyr Add: SANTA CLAUS THE ORIGINAL HIPPIE (H & J)
Transcribed from a sound file found with SkreemR.org (a useful search engine you might want to bookmark).
The tune reminds me of PAPA'S ON THE HOUSETOP, but not quite the same.
SANTA CLAUS THE ORIGINAL HIPPIE Homer and Jethro
1. Well, who wore long hair and a fuzzy beard Before any hippie was ever here, From patent leather boots and psychedelic clothes And little granny glasses upon his nose? Santy Claus, the original hippie.
2. Motorcycle gangs with wide leather belts, Funny-lookin' caps, their prides would melt If they could take a look at Santy Claus's buckle. His belly's all pot. That's why he can chuckle— Santy Claus, the original hippie.
BRIDGE: Who is the guy who could always fly Long before the Wright brothers learned to try? He's been takin' trips since 1583, And he can take a trip without LSD.
3. Who wears a collar and cuffs of fur? For all we know, there's beads under there, 'Cause he was the first to smell hippie clothes. That's why his finger's up against his nose— Santy Claus, the original hippie.
