Pass That Peace Pipe Lyrics - Hugh Sings Martin - Hugh Martin

A medicine man I met 

Said don't get yourself in a sweat. 

When things look gray, 

Just shrug and say: 

"it musta been somethin' I et!" 

"so don't get yourself in a snit, " he said, 

"tuck your tantrums into your kit instead. 

"it's disarming to be charming," 

Quoth the medicine man, 

Whom all agree it's plain to see 

Nobody could be wiser than. 

So if your temper's getting a top hand, 

All you have to do is just stop and 

Pass that peace pipe and bury that hatchet 

Like the Choctaws, Chickasaws, 

Chattahoochee's, Chippewas do. 

If you're feeling mad as a wet hen, 

Mad as you can possibly get, then 

Pass that peace pipe, bury that tomahawk 

Like those Chichamecks, Cherokees, 

Chapultepec's do. 

That cold shoulder never solved a single complaint. 

When you're older, you'll wipe off all of that war 

Paint. 

If you find yourself in a fury, 

Be your own judge and your own jury. 

Pass that peace pipe and bury that hatchet 

Like the Choctaws, Chickasaws, 

Chattahoochee's, Chippewas do. 

If you want to hover out west, too, 

You will soon discover it's best to 

Pass that peace pipe and bury that hatchet 

Like the Choktohs, Changos, 

Chattanooga's, Cheekarohs do. 

Even in colonial days, you 

Know the ceremonial ways to 

Pass that peace pipe and bury that tomahawk 

Like those Chakootamees, Chepacheps 

'n' Chicopees, too. 

Pull your ears in, try to use a little control. 

When "all clear"'s in, you'll be top man on the totem 

Pole. 

So, if you wanna be an all-right guy 

Not a long face, blues-in-the-night guy 

Write that apology and dispatch it! 

When you quarrel, it's grand to patch it! 

Pass that peace pipe and bury that hatchet 

Like those Choctaws, Chickasaws, 

Chattahoochee's, Chippewas 

And those Chickadees, Cherokees, 

Chapultepecs 

And those Chakootamees, Chepacheps 

'n' Chicopees, Choktohs, Changos, 

Chattanoogas, Cheekarohs do-o-o-o
