Happy Hippy Lyrics & Chords By Ian Dury And The Blockheads

Am-i-mini-snack-mo-oo-guys-oh-er-ooh!(?)
I'm hanging up my hang-ups
Ere I turn into a blank automaton
You won't find me on the treadmill
You can tell 'em Willy Boy has been and gone
Yes Mogadon time's over
There'll be an empty bed in Babylon
'Cos I'm a happy hippy
It's beads and Roman sandals from now on
Yes I'm a happy hippy, they call me Mr. Whippy
When everything is crappy, being hippy makes you happy
Yes I'm a happy hippy, and you can bet your bippy
That everybody's happy 'cos everything is trippy
I've found a new position
I don't use chairs and tables anymore
I focus my attention from a lovely purple cushion on the floor
When I look back on the rat-race
I don't regret a thing I've disavowed
With the freedom of an eagle
I can always keep my head above the clouds
'Cos I'm a happy hippy they call me Mr. Whippy
When everything is crappy being hippy makes you happy
Yes I'm a happy hippy and you can bet your bippy
That everybody's happy 'cos everything is trippy
(Good diets everyone?)
Now I 'm a jolly beatnik
I haven't got a worry in the way
My hair grows long and shaggy
As I savour every minute of the day
Immune from all achievement
Since I threw away my telly and my phone
In my pastel pyjamas
Spending every waking moment getting stoned
'Cos I'm a happy hippy they call me Mr. Whippy
When everything is crappy being hippy makes you happy
Yes I'm a happy hippy and you can bet your bippy
That everybody's happy 'cos everything is trippy
And everything is trippy, and everything is trippy,
And everything is trippy, and everything is trippy
I'm a happy hippy and everything is trippy
I'm a happy hippy and everything is trippy
I'm a happy hippy and everything is trippy
I'm a happy hippy and everything is trippy
Yippee!
