Met a man he was nice
   said his name was paradise
   Didn't realise at the time
   that his face and mind were mine
   Hippy Gumbo he's no good
   Chop him up for firewood
   It seemed good and it seemed right
   that I should dig him on the night
   but in the morning with the sun he pulled an automatic gun
   He blew my soul, he blew my brain
   he said I could not do the same
   Hippy Gumbo he's no good
   Chop him up for firewood
   Hippy Gumbo he's no good
   Chop him up and burn the wood.
