() Well it?s that time of the year again, everybody?s runnin ?round Decoratin? everything before the fat man comes to town Meanwhile at the commune he?s getting? ready too He?s Tie Dye and T-shirts, makin? love beads just for you He?s trimmin? up his favorite tree and tokin? what he grew Well he?s got the 8-track blastin? inscence burns by candlelight Gene Autry?s singin Rudolph, the Grateful Dead do Silent Night And he?s seen the evening news and the prospects still look dim But solutions for the planet he knows start right here with him So he?ll visualize this sacred night in a world that ain?t out on a limb Yeah it?s an old hippie Christmas, weather?s cold and hearts are warm Momma smokes a turkey while Daddy smokes a bong It?s an old hippie Christmas full of yule time fun Jesus must?ve been a hippie, peace and love to every one Well the kids makes up their wish list, Sunshine wants the A-bomb banned Rainbow wants to go to ?Frisco in an old Volkswagen van And the black lights and the lava lamps are flashin? all about And Santa in his sandals leaves us little doubt That Christmas time is almost here and it?s gonna be far out Chorus
