Up On The Hill Where They Do The Boogie – The Band Of Heathens (originally by John Hartford)

Down in the city it’s a pity what’s there All the kids in the gutter runnin’ really bare How much money do I have to get To get me set where the jet set gets
Up on the hill where they do the boogie Dodododo the boogie I wonder what they’re doin’ when they dodo the boogie And I wonder what I’m doin’ here
Down in the city if you ain’t dead You better watch that man, he gonna bust your head Throw you over and leave you alone He’s a twenty minutes late, he’s gotta be back home
Up on the hill where they do the boogie Dodododo the boogie I wonder what they’re doin’ when they dodo the boogie And I wonder what I’m doin’ here
The rat’s in the alley and a roach on the floor A businessman huntin’ for a two-bit whore I thought I heard some housewife say I gotta go up the hill for the PTA
Up on the hill where they do the boogie Dodododo the boogie I wonder what they’re doin’ when they dodo the boogie And I wonder what I’m doin’ here
A some folks say that a hippie won’t steal But I caught three in my corn field One had a flag and the other had a bomb And the third ol’ boy was a-gettin’ on home
Up on the hill where they do the boogie Dodododo the boogie I wonder what they’re doin’ when they dodo the boogie And I wonder what I’m doin’ here
Now all I know about is a-what I read A-see it comin’ at me on the TV screen Every time they boogie well it gives me a thrill But they always seem to do it way up on the hill
Up on the hill where they do the boogie Dodododo the boogie I wonder what they’re doin’ when they dodo the boogie And I wonder what I’m doin’ here
