Phil Ochs - Fifty Mile Hike Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Some people never get their feet on the ground,
  • Theyre either sitting in a chair or theyre laying down
  • Their bellies are hanging down on their knees,
  • Its almost a national emergency.
  • Fifty miles, keep a-walking,
  • Twenty-five miles and youre almost there,
  • Fifty miles no use a-talkin,
  • Better get in step with the new frontier.
  • Well, the president put on his walkin shoes
  • He had a country with 30 millions pounds to lose
  • He remembered a promise he made way back when
  • Hes gonna get the country movin again.
  • *chorus*
  • Then everybody started getting into the act
  • Even sallinger left but he soon came back
  • On his return he was heard to say
  • Fifty miles a day keeps republicans away
  • *chorus*
  • Rockefellers happy with his brand new wife,
  • And richard nixons done enough running for life
  • And lyndon johnson is too busy a man
  • And joseph p. kennedy bought out tom mccann.
  • *chorus*
  • So I decided I would carry my load
  • I grabbed a carton of cigarettes and I hit the road,
  • The golf clubs were heavy and the gin was slow
  • If you want to get healthy, thats the way to go.
  • *chorus*
  • While everybodys goin out and havin fun
  • They ought to lose some weight in more ways than one
  • Fity miles of thinking is a heavy strain
  • But its about the only cure, for an overweight brain.
  • *chorus*
