HOLIO (Than Thou) Tune: Sweet Betsy From Pike Can be heard on Holly's new CD Baby recording, "Eat Your Triceratops" There are many spiritual people in Mendocino.
I am so holy and kindly and wise Folks come from miles to gaze in my eyes Sit at my feet and you quickly will see No one is half as enlightened as me. Holio, holio holio ho Everyone loves me wherever I go
When my friends need me I always am there. I always listen and I always care I always text them and email them too I’m not a burnt-out old hippie like you. Holio, holio holio ho Everyone loves me wherever I go
That stuff you’re eating, I used to eat that. It made me bloated and stupid and fat Eat what I eat, and you surely will see You can be brilliant and slender like me. Holio, holio holio ho Everyone loves me wherever I go
That stuff you’re smoking, I used to smoke too. It got me high and then it made me blue Quit your addiction, and have some mint tea You can be clean and clear-headed like me. Holio, holio holio ho Everyone loves me wherever I go
I help the needy and I volunteer Everyone tells me they’re glad I live here Except the deluded and drug-addled few Who like to hang out with a loser like you. Holio, holio holio ho Everyone loves me wherever I go
