Iris Gold - Mama Was a Hippy Lyrics

Like a phenomena
Whatever they say
Like a phenomena
Whatever they say

Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said do what you do and that's amazing
Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said strange is the thing that makes you baby
Strange is the thing that makes you baby, makes you baby, makes you baby

So mama told me to bang bang the boogie to uprock the boogie right
So pappa told me to bang bang the boogie to bounce up on the boogie right
I was born in awe jumped to the floor said mama come take me
Up ready for more ready to explore the universe where I be
So mama told me to bang bang the boogie to bounce up on the boogie right
So I kept the fare for the cab, kissed mum and dad
I'm flying like a satellite

Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said do what you do and that's amazing
Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said strange is the thing that makes you baby
Strange is the thing that makes you baby, makes you baby, makes you baby

My pappa told me to bang bang the boogie to uprock the boogie right
My sister told me to bang bang the boogie to bounce up on the boogie right
From the light of the womb from the push and the pull
To my debut
In the delivery room not a moment to soon
Here's what they gave you
That's when they told me to bang bang the boogie to bounce up on the boogie right
So I carry my shine through the finish line
I'm throwing up the peace sign

Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said do what you do and that's amazing
Mama was a hippy
Live of the love she gave me, love she gave me
Mama was a hippy
She said strange is the thing that makes you baby
Strange is the thing that makes you baby, makes you baby, makes you baby

Like a phenomena
Whatever they say
Like a phenomena
Whatever they say

Mamas and pappas
And madonna and tricky
Inquisitive child mama said I was trippy
Gap toothed my hair fly by hippy
So they turned me on to hip hop
It was quick time in a jiffy

Catch me when I'm sippin and I get a little lippy
Caught a little wippin when I got a little lippy
You know mama was a hippy
Yeah mama was a hippy
