"Old Hippie Christmas" lyrics

Well, it's that time of year again, everybody's runnin' round
Decoratin' everything, before the fat man comes to town
Meanwhile at the commune, he's gettin' ready too
He's tye-dying t-shirts, makin' love beads just for you
He's trimmin' up his favorite tree, tokin' what he grew

Well, he's got the 8 track blastin', Incense burns by candlelight
Gene Autry's singin' Rudolph, the Grateful Dead do Silent Night
And he's seen the evening news, and the prospects still look dim
But solutions for the planet, he knows start right here with him
So he'll visualize this sacred night, of a world that ain't out on a limb

Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas, weather's cold and hearts are warm
Mama smokes a turkey, while daddy smokes the farm
It's an old hippie Christmas, just full of yuletide fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace and love, to everyone

Well, the kids make up their wishlist, sunshine wants the A-bomb banned
Rainbow wants to go to Frisco, in an old Volkswagen van
And the black lights and the lava lamps, are flashin' all about
And Santa in his sandals, leaves us little doubt
That Christmas time is almost here, and it's gonna be far-out

Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas, weather's cold and hearts are warm
Mama smokes a turkey, while daddy smokes the farm
It's an old hippie Christmas, full of yuletide fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace and love, to everyone

Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas, weather's cold and hearts are warm
Mama smokes a turkey, while daddy smokes the farm
It's an old hippie Christmas, full of yuletide fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace and love, to everyone
