Transcribed from a sound sample at Barnes & Noble:

...I will build a teepee; you will cook a stew.
We'll do all them country things that country people do.

Hey, boppa (?), livin' off the land (3x)
Isn't nature grand?

We will have a pet raccoon. Maybe we'll have two....

LIVIN' OFF THE LAND (Antonia/Peter Stampfel)

Joybell's old man here:
heard weber & rounders (sans stampfel) do this in stockholm, 1972, at the alternative world environment conference (run by the hog farmers et al). as i remember, it sounded like:

hey boppa livin up land (3)
isnt nature grand

verse:
we can have a pet raccoon, maybe we'll have two
and if you are nice to me, i'll even sleep with you.

that's all i can remember

What you are after is probably 'Living Off the Land', a Stampfel composition on The Holy Modal Rounders 'Good Taste Is Timeless' Metromedia Records MD 1039 (1971). There is no lyric sheet, at least in my copy which I got second hand when the world was young, and I do not have a stylus for my turntable at the moment.

ok, I've got this song in my head, it sounds like Weber/Stampfel/Holy Modal Rounders. The lyrics are: hey now, now, livin' on the land, hey now, now, livin' on the land, hey now, now, livin' on the land, isn't nature grand?

Anyone know the title, artist and album where I can find this? It's driving me nuts!!
