  1. First I was a hippie

    Then I was a stockbroker

    Now I am a hippie again


    In the Summer of Love I was mellow and high

    I had my bus and my dog

    and everything I needed to get by

    But the years rolled on and I settled down

    I parked my bus and took a car pool into town


    A stockbroker in a three piece suit

    I gave up sellin' hash and started doin' toot

    I had more money than I'd ever dreamed of

    I forgot all about the Summer of Love


    First I was a hippie

    Then I was a stockbroker

    Now I am a hippie again


    The years went by faster and faster

    Down on Wall Street they called me the master

    I soon had more money than Lady Astor

    I couldn't see an impending disaster


    But I wasn't happy

    I broke out in a rash

    I just couldn't handle the stress...

    And then came the crash


    First I was a hippie

    Then I was a stockbroker

    Now I am a hippie again


    I'm free -- I lost all I had and that's ok with me

    I'm free -- I think I'll check the oil in my van

    I'm free -- I've got tickets for all five nights

    of the Grateful Dead

    I'm free -- hey, see my new macrame briefcase

    I'm free -- etc
