Lyrics
GENERAL OSORIO'S HIPPIE FAIR (I LIKE THE WEED) MARK "BUC" WILLIAMS, 2017(ASCAP)
(V1)
FLEW TO RIO DE JANEIRO TO CHECK OUT THEIR BEACHES HEARD BOUT THIS TOWN FULL OF CRAFTSMAN AND BEATNIKS SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD TIME SO I TOOK ME A SIDE TRIP WHEN I GOT TO IPENEMA I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT
(CHORUS 1)
THERE WERE...
TANNED LEATHER SANDALS, RAINBOW SCENT CANDLES PAINTED PURSES AND RECYCLED GLASS BEADS BRIGHT FLOWERED SKIRTS, TYE-DYE T-SHIRTS PRETTIEST WOMAN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN
EARRINGS AND CHAIRS, HAND-SPUN EARTHENWARE ANYTHING ANYBODY COULD NEED
CACHACA (CA-SHAW-SA) ALCOHOL, BUT MOST OF ALL
I LIKED THE WEED
(V2)
THEY CALLED IT GENERAL OSORIO'S HIPPIE FAIR CAPPUCCINO AND PATCHOULI FILLED THE AIR NEVER SEEN NOTHIN' LIKE IT BEFORE GUITARISTS, FLORISTS AND ARTISTS GALORE
(CHORUS 2)
I BOUGHT...
A BAHIAN DISH, ACARAJE (A-CAR-AJAY) DUMPLINS WITH SHRIMP
A METAL BRACELET AND A SHIRT WITH NO SLEEVES
HEMP GUITAR STRAP, EMBROIDERED BALL CAP
LAVALAMP, WITHAFULLGUARANTEE
A CARVED WALKIN' STICK, A GOLD CRUCIFIX
IF NOT FOR WORK I'D NEVER LEAVE
DRANK SOME COLD BRAHAMA (BRA-MA) BEER, GOT SOME GREAT SOUVENIRS BUT I LIKE THE WEED
(RIDE)
(BRIDGE)
SO IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF IN NEED OF A BREAK THEY'RE OPEN EVERY SUNDAY SINCE 1968
(CHORUS 1)
THEY HAVE...
TANNED LEATHER SANDALS, RAINBOW SCENT CANDLES PAINTED PURSES AND RECYCLED GLASS BEADS BRIGHT FLOWERED SKIRTS, TYE-DYE T-SHIRTS PRETTIEST WOMAN THAT I'VE EVER SEEN
EARRINGS AND CHAIRS, HAND-SPUN EARTHENWARE ANYTHING ANYBODY COULD NEED
CACHACA (CA-SHAW-SA) ALCOHOL, BUT MOST OF ALL
I LIKED THE WEED
YA I HAD A BALL, BUT MOST OF ALL
I LIKE THE WEED
