Hippieland (Used In the Song Hippieland Sung By Lew Dentler)

Once in a meadow there lived hippie Sue Hippie Tony and hippie Jim lived there too There sitting smoking was hippie Jack Making joints from the buds in his hippie rucksack There was Hippie Emma who cooked the meal and hippie Ray who helped her peel Hippie Sarah played all day on her guitar toking on Smokey Blues magic cigar They danced all night from the break of dawn and lay in the sun in the early morn They all swam naked in a nearby lake after acid fuelled trips they would take They believed in peace and stopping the war They didn't know what all the fighting was for Hippie Sue would sit hugging her favourite tree Hippie Lou would sit making Jewelery They would take all their wears to market to sell From colourful robes to a painted shell They lived in the meadow in a giant tee'pee Young and naked, beautiful and free They would dance and sing songs about the day when freedom would come and war go away News travelled far of this peaceful community people came near and far all wanting to be free As this village soon grew of people from near and far something happened that was a little bizzare People started to wonder what they were fighting for and soon it became the end of war This hippie meadow was full of different races of hippie people from all different places Hippie Lou taught people the meaning of how to live Hippie Sue taught people the meaning of how to give Hippie Jim taught people who didn't know how to share Hippie Ray taught people who didn't know how to care This was a beautiful sunny hippie paradise A way of living together simple but nice This place will still be forever there Hippie Jim sitting waiting for stories to share But you don't need a map just a hippie heart You've known how to get there from the start!
