V1: I saw her walking down the street
Callouses and blisters on her feet
Runaway at 17
She looks so dirty but she’s really clean
CH: It’s not like I don’t like society but
Just go away and let me be free right now
With my Hippie Lady
Aaah, aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah, aaah
V2: I saw her walking down the street
Look like she needs some food to eat,
Said goodbye to Ma and Pa,
Leave behind a brand new Car
CH: It’s not like I don’t like society but
Just go away and let me be free right now
With my Hippie Lady
Aaah, aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah, aaah
V3: A friend saw us walking down the street
Happiest people he ever did meet
We found each other and our parents too
And now we both love all of you
CH: It’s not like I don’t like society but
Just go away and let me be free right now
With my Hippie Lady
Aaah, aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah, aaah
Oh lady, with my Hippie Lady….

The Yummies (aka Les Fradkin) had a regional hit in October 1970 with a song called "Hippie Lady" b/w "Patty Cake"- a single on Sunflower Records. The "Patty Cake Radio Remix" and "Oh Yap Yap" (the song played backwards, as was the custom for B-Sides at Buddha Records in those days) both come from the original (only copy in existence) Acetate.
Now remastered for Digital and CD by Les Fradkin
