The Thing That Only Eats Hippies Lyrics - Dead Milkmen

Wendel brought it to life in his guest room bath tub 

It was a special project for his 4-H club 

But it broke loose out in the middle of the night 

And now it's eatin' flower children left and right 

All the punks are gonna scream yippee 

'Cause it's the thing that only eats hippies 

First it cruised on out to Malibu 

And ate a couple a' surfers 

Who were too tough to chew 

So it slithered its way 

Out to old Irvine 

And ate a couple a' hippies 

And they tasted just fine

Now its got a sweet tooth for long hair 

So Bob and Greg and Grant you should beware 

Followin' the Dead is how it gets it's kicks 

Shame it wasn't born in 1966 

Listens to the music and begins to sway 

Dreamin' acid dreams of a hippie souffle 

Hey hey hey 

What do they taste like - 

Some kind a' treat? 

How many hippies can this monster eat? 

It ate Stills and Nash before they could shout 

And then it chewed on David Crosby 

But it spit him out

All the punks are gonna scream yippee 

'Cause it's the thing that only eats hippies 

There it goes 

Gonna send 'em all to that big Folk Festival in the sky 

So long suckers!
