G C G That VW Van went rolling along G D A-rolling down to Portland-Oh G C G And out of that van came a beard with a man: G D G He was a raggle, taggle, hippy-oh G C G He says how do you like my flannel shirt G D How do you like my skinny jeans-Oh? G C G How do you like my environmental work: G D G I am a raggle, taggle, hippy-oh. Well do I like your flannel shirt Well do I like your skinny jeans, Oh But tell me about your environmental work If you be a raggle taggle hippy-oh He says, I’ve planted ten sustainable farms In nine different countries oh I’ve held eight baby seals in my arms I am a raggle, taggle, hippy Oh I’ve cleaned pollution from the seven salt seas I’ve slept on six world wonders oh I’ve lived with five loving families I am a raggle taggle hippy Oh I’ve hosted four earth festivals I’ve held three protests in prison oh I’ve biked across two continents I am a raggle taggle hippy oh But there is one thing that I lack I’m pining for a lady-Oh To share this life of poverty And be a raggle taggle hippy Oh So won’t you go along with me And we’ll all go down to Portland Oh And live in a commune by the sea and we’ll all be raggle taggle hippies Oh
