Bad Times for the Hare Krishnas (Homage to Don Van Vliet)
Once upon a time
Down in Hanway Place
I think it was the summer of 1998
We danced and we chanted
And you banged on a drum
Along the Charring Cross Road
Nearly 100 strong
You shouted hurry up Hare
Harry come on
I thought you're older than you look
If you know that song
And we were born
Again
Now it seems our devotion has all gone to waste
As the world becomes
An even scarier place
The streets are empty
No one gives a damn
We were seduced by some footprints in the sand
Oh harry up Hare
What a dreadful pun
It was a bad joke back then
Oh what a stupid song
But we were born
Again
Just the other day two young devotees
Were waltzing up and down
Old Compton Street
It seems their number have dwindled over the years
I now work full-time in the civil service
Oh harry up Hare
Harry come on
They probably weren't even born
When I first hears that song
Again
Down in Hanway Place
I think it was the summer of 1998
We danced and we chanted
And you banged on a drum
Along the Charring Cross Road
Nearly 100 strong
You shouted hurry up Hare
Harry come on
I thought you're older than you look
If you know that song
And we were born
Again
Now it seems our devotion has all gone to waste
As the world becomes
An even scarier place
The streets are empty
No one gives a damn
We were seduced by some footprints in the sand
Oh harry up Hare
What a dreadful pun
It was a bad joke back then
Oh what a stupid song
But we were born
Again
Just the other day two young devotees
Were waltzing up and down
Old Compton Street
It seems their number have dwindled over the years
I now work full-time in the civil service
Oh harry up Hare
Harry come on
They probably weren't even born
When I first hears that song
Again
