作曲：

Everybody claims that they want

The best things outta life

But not everyone not everyone

Wanna got through the toils and strifes

Like this particular fella walks around

All day long singin' this song

Sha na lah dah dah lah dah dah dah dah

Harry Hippie lies asleep in the shade

Life don't bug him 'cause he thinks

He's got it made

He never worry about nothin' in particular

Oh he might even sell free press on sunset

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But I can't help him much

When he's sleepin' on the ground

He's like a bottle in water

Harry just floats through life

Walks around all day long singin' this song

Whoa whoa whoa oh yeah

Mary Hippie she's Harry's lady

Panhandles pennies just to feed Harry's baby

She can lie down a story so incredible

Man you wanna help her take the food

Home and put it on the table

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But I can't help ya Harry

If you wanna sleep on the ground

Sorry Harry you're too much weight

To carry around

But he still walks around all day singin' this song

Sha dah dah dah sha nah nah nah nah nah

Nah sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah

Street child street child tell me where

Will you be goin'

When old man winter gets his horn

And starts blowin'

Will you hang around LA

Or hitch a ride on a freeway

Meet an old familiar face in a new place

I'd like to help a man when he's down

But how can I help him

If he's somewhere outta town

Sorry Harry think I'm gonna put you down

Sha dah dah dah sha dah dah dah dah

Sha lah lah lah lah dah dah dah

Everybody help me sing this song oh yeah
