Lyrics

Hippy Gumbo

Met a man, he was nice

Said his name was paradise

Didn't realise at the time

That his face and mind were mine

Hippy Gumbo, he's no good

Chop him up for firewood

Hippy Gumbo, he's no good

Chop him up for firewood

It seemed right and it seemed good

That I should dig on him all night

In the morning with the sun

He pulled an automatic gun

He blew my soul, he blew my brain

He said I could not do the same

Hippy Gumbo, he's no good

Chop him up for firewood

Hippy Gumbo he's no good

Chop him up and burn the wood

Hippy Gumbo he's no good

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood

Chop him up and burn the wood
