Hippy Hippy Shake

For goodness sake,
Ive got the hippy hippy shake.
Ive got the shake,
Oh the hippy hippy shake.
Oo I cant keep still
With the hippy hippy shake.
I get my fill
With that hippy hippy shake.
Oo my babe,
Auw the hippy hippy shake.
Well now you shake it to the left,
You shake it to the right.
Do the hippy shake shake
With all of your might.
And you shake.
Oh you shake.
Oo my babe.
Auw the hippy hippy shake.
Well now you shake it to the left,
You shake it to the right.

Old Old Woodstock

Oh dont it get you
Get you when youre through
Feel the breezes blowing all around your coat
Oh dont it get you
When you gotta roam
Hear the children singing
daddys coming home
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Going down to give my baby a squeeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Feel the cool night breeze
Going down to old old woodstock
Way behind the shady trees
Here I come a swaggering
Way on over the ridge
See the water flowing way beneath the bridge
And my womans waiting
By the kitchen door

At the time of Woodstock, I was just 13, but I used to see these exotic hippy creatures and I did look on with envy. How could you not? In an ideal world, I would have loved to have been a hippy - but I might have been a bit strait-laced. It was my fantasy.

Hippie Girl (full Song)

whe you express your mind
youre so smart and kind
i dont know any line
when im next to you all i can say is i feel fine
when you are with me
i hope you never leave me
because ill never find someone like you
that likes all the things that i do
youre the only one who thinks like me
and i will always try to agree
you know i need you and you need me

hippie girl ill find you
hippie girl i really need you
i need to talk about love peace and war
i need to talk to you and also see you more
hippie girl i look for you
hippie girl i really need you
i need to talk to you about music and poetry
i need you youre the only one that understands me

I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!

No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.

Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick.

Lines on Woodstock

We fancy the lustre of the old town is reflected
on the new. English Woodstock was a royal residence.

English Woodstock had a Palace
Where the Queen in jealous malice
Slew romance's fairest flower,
Fair Rosamond, in secret bower,
Our Woodstock, pleasant county town-
(This brings it both wealth and renown)-
To your strong castle some are sent
For to give them leisure to repent,
And the Reeves will, in their bounty,
Build court house worthy of the county.
A charming vista you do view,
Gazing on each street and Avenue,
Mansions and lawns embowered 'mong trees
Where wealthy owners live at ease ;
And through the air there sweetly floats
Harmonious Woodstock organ notes,
And men employment secure

But, what did happen is I went to Woodstock as a member of the audience. I did not show up there with a road manager and a couple of guitars. I showed up with a change of clothes and a toothbrush.

Beatnik To Vietnam To Hippie Stand

(10/13/12)

At the beginning of "64" - I packed up my uniform
And walked out the door- it was the beginning of
The Vietnam war.
By August of that same year
President Johnson started the draft
Under protests and jeers.

Then he made it a full scale war
And sent our soldiers to Vietnam shores.
The Beatniks in Greenwich village
With their long hair, beards, and
Flip flop sandals - wrote their poetry
About this undeclared war, and why
Our men were going to those shores.

This created a new generation called ‘HIPPIES"
The hippie generation was groups of protesters
Against everything that they found wrong

Not hippie - my parents were not hippies - but they were very supportive and encouraging, and that does a lot for someone, and it gives them a lot of confidence.

Hippie Grandad

Nutty banana milkshakes
The smell of Lilac and Gardinia
Clean air
Clean man
Hippie Grandad

Green grass, fresh fruit
Long strands of curly hair
Crazy cool
Crazy man
My Hippie Grandad

Tie dye shirts, Ripped jeans
Not scared of getting older
Young spirit
Tender man
Loving Grandad

Organic life, outspoken soul
Rusty bike, dirty Keds
