Papa Dukie & The Mudd People

Back in the day In our sleepy little town Out of nowhere A hippie band came around They set up camp (Down by the river) Close to So So Curve (behind the levee) Folks said stay away (them people are dirty) Tell deputy Momio get down there in a hurry Nanananananana (2x) He said they got them hippie girls Taking off all their clothes They’re swimming in the river Painting beads, making rainbows singing Chorus Love is a beautiful thing I can’t wait to see what the new day brings Love is a beautiful thing Make you wanna dance, make you wanna holler Nanananananana (2x) I remember Suppertime conversation Opinions flew I ain’t sure about my daddy I think he kinda liked the view Brother said they ain’t hurtin nobody (ain’t hurt nobody) Leave the mud people alone Momio said they ain’t broken no laws And I kinda like to hear that song Chorus There was patchouli incense And weedsmoke in the air It was all colors, it was all love And it was all right Me and my brother stayed right there Singing all through the night Chorus Make you wanna dance and cry and laugh and sing Nanananananana - make you wanna holler Nanananananana – down by the river Nanananananana – behind the levee
