Papa Dukie & The Mudd People Lyrics - Behind The Levee - Subdudes

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 

Theyre swimming in the river 

Painting beads, making rainbows singing 

Chorus 

Love is a beautiful thing 

I cant 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 aint sure about my daddy 

I think he kinda liked the view 

Brother said they aint hurtin nobody 

(aint hurt nobody) 

Leave the mud people alone 

Momio said they aint 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
