Karaoké Harry Hippie Bobby Womack

Everybody claims that they want the best things out of life

Huh

But not everyone not everyone wanna go through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fella walks around all day long singin'

Sha na na na na na na na na na na

Harry Hippie lies asleep in the shade

Life don't bug him 'cos he thinks he's got it made

He never worry about nothin' in particular

But ooh, he might even sell free press on Sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But I can't help him much when he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water

Harry just floats through life

Walks around all day long singin' this song

Woah, ho ooh ooh

Woah oh oh oh oh, yeah

Mary Hippie

She's Harry's lady

Pan-handles pennies just to feed Harry's baby

She can lie down a story

Huh

So incredible

Man you wanna help her take that food home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down now

But I can't help you Harry if you wanna sleep on the ground

Sorry Harry

Oh, you're too much weight to carry around

But he still walks around all day long singin' this song

Sha na na na

Sha na na na na na na

Sha na na na na na na na na na

Street child, street child

Tell me where will you be goin' when old man winter gets his horn and starts blowin'

Will you hang around L.A. or hitch a ride on a freeway

Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down but how can I help him if he's somewhere out of town

Sorry Harry

Think I'm gonna put you down

Sha na na na

Sha na na na

Sha na na na na na

Da na na na na

Everybody help me sing this song

Oh ooh oh ooh

Oh yeah
