about

A fun project with my family. Recorded at home at Christmas a few years ago.. always get requests for it at Christmas!

lyrics

I'm just an old hippie pickin' on this guitar
Beside the Christmas tree the angel and the star
Thinking about brotherly love, cosmic vibes, all that stuff
It's J.C's birthday and I think I need another puff
Cos'
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
Peace and love good will towards everyone
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
But it ain't so hip to be a hippie all year long

I picked flower and sent it to your man in the White House
Said nuclear bombs just make me wanna scream
He said 'You've got some cheek' called me a hippie weirdo freak
Said,' Tell it to the Commies cos' God is on my team
And I was amazed
For they say that Jesus wore his hair real long
Beard and sandals and sang a kinda hippie song
Said 'Everybody love each other, make your enemy your brother'
Peace and love and friendship can't be wrong
Sing along!
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
Peace and love good will towards everyone
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
But it ain't so hip to be a hippie all year long
So I guess I'll get on back to the old homestead
Plant some seeds and pick my old guitar
Find me a hippes mate, who thinks I'm really great
and we'll make love and let everybody else make war
What's it for?
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
Peace and love good will towards everyone
Everybody wants to be a Hippie at Christmas
But it ain't so hip to be a hippie all year long
