" 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 scrappy 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 day everyone. "
