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 Dy'n T-shirts, makin' love beads just for you
He's trimmin' up his favorite tree
Tokin' what he grew

Well he's got the 8-track blastin'
Incense 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 cigars
It's an old hippie Christmas full of yule time fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace, and love to everyone

Well, the kids make 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

Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas, weather's cold and hearts are warm
Momma smokes a turkey while Daddy smokes cigars
It's an old hippie Christmas full of yule time fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace, and love to everyone

Yeah, it's an old hippie Christmas, weather's cold and hearts are warm
Momma smokes a turkey while Daddy smokes cigars
It's an old hippie Christmas full of yule time fun
Jesus must've been a hippie, peace, and love to everyone
