Subdudes 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
