A look at the original hippies
The grooviest and most
far out decade of the century,
A time when hippies and flower children
wanted to be free
Because of women's lib
there was the burning of the bras,
The hippies called cops pigs
and did not like all of the laws
Grooved to Jimi Hendrix
In-A-Godda-Da-Vida and more,
Like Crosby Stills and Nash, Grateful Dead,
Guess Who, and The Doors
Said things like "Make love not war!, Groovy"
"Dig, and psychadelic",
Hip men were called cats
as the women were called chicks
The Woodstock Festival was held
in the year of '69,
Hip cats and chicks grooved to music
and were feeling fine
