Well, he wore long hair and a fuzzy beard
Before any hippie was ever here
From patent leather boots and psychedelic clothes
And little granny glasses upon his nose
Santa Claus, the original hippie
Motorcycle gangs with wide leather belts
But funny looking caps, their prides would melt
If they could take a look at Santa Claus' buckle
His belly's called pot, that's why he can chuckle
Santa Claus, the original hippie
Who is the guy who could always fly
Long before the Wright Brothers learned to try
He been taking trips since 1583
And he can take a trip without LSD
Who wears a collar and cuffs of fur
For all we know there's beads under there
Because he was the first to smell hippie clothes
That's why his finger's up against his nose
Santa Claus, the original hippie
Who is the guy who could always fly

Who wears a collar and cuffs of fur
For all we know there's beads under there
Because he was the first to smell hippie clothes
That's why his finger's up against his nose
Hip, hip, hippie
