    Still the best song ever written about hippies.

    Who Needs the Peace Corps? -- Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

    What's there to live for?
    Who needs the peace corps?
    Think I'll just DROP OUT
    I'll go to Frisco
    Buy a wig & sleep
    On Owsley's floor

    Walked past the wig store
    Danced at the Fillmore
    I'm completely stoned
    I'm hippy & I'm trippy
    I'm a gypsy on my own
    I'll stay a week & get the crabs &
    Take a bus back home
    I'm really just a phony
    But forgive me
    'Cause I'm stoned

    Every town must have a place
    Where phony hippies meet
    Psychedelic dungeons
    Popping up on every street
    GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .

    How I love ya, How I love ya
    How I love ya, How I love ya Frisco!
    How I love ya, How I love ya
    How I love ya, How I love ya
    Oh, my hair is getting good in the back!

    Every town must have a place
    Where phony hippies meet
    Psychedelic dungeons
    Popping up on every street
    GO TO SAN FRANCISCO . . .

    Hotcha!

    First I'll buy some beads
    And then perhaps a leather band
    To go around my head
    Some feathers and bells
    And a book of Indian lore
    I will ask the Chamber Of Commerce
    How to get to Haight Street
    And smoke an awful lot of dope
    I will wander around barefoot
    I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
    I will love everyone
    I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street
    I will sleep . . .
    I will, I will go to a house
    That's, that's what I will do
    I will go to a house
    Where there's a rock & roll band
    'Cause the groups all live together
    And I will join a rock & roll band
    I will be their road manager
    And I will stay there with them
    And I will get the crabs
    But I won't care
    Because . .
