If he's still around nowadays
he must be living in the States
and playing the guitar
sleeping on couches in train stations
and smoking pot
with a vagrant blue stare
Jesus, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is a Hippie
A mexican poncho on his shoulders
a bandana on his brow
he wears a beard and long hair
he picked fights in Chicago
he likes bare-breasted chicks
he was born in San Francisco.
Yeah, Jesus, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is a Hippie
In parks, along the docks
he lives in a sleeping bag.
he keeps being arrested
for vagrancy.
In the great Woodstock festival
he was the one tending to the wounded
Yeah, Jesus, Jesus Christ
Ooh Jesus Christ is a Hippie
I think his father's name was Joe
I think his mother's name was Mary
I think he's thirty three
I think the FBI is after him
and if they manage to corner him
they'll nail our friend on a cross.
Oh Jesus, Jesus Christ
Mmm Jesus Christ is a Hippie
Yeah, Jesus, Jesus Christ
Ooh, Jesus Christ is a Hippie
