Hiram reinvents himself

Hiram casts off the shackles of covid to accept he’s an anachronysm and well out of touch and has rewritten his theme song to reflect this. So play the backing track and sing along…

I’m Hiram the Hippy and I’m O.K.
My time has long since passed but I still get out to play
In the land of make believe I can live out the dream.
To be that man who ever was the subject of esteem.

Here’s to the past
Long may it last
What can I say –
I’m just a virtual Hippy, so I’m OK

I’m Hiram the Hippy, how do you do?
It’s such an honour for me to catch up with you.
We’ve followed different paths for so many years
Now at last I’ve met you let’s share a couple of beers

Here’s to the past
Long may it last
What can I say –
I’m just a virtual Hippy, so I’m OK

And so I formed Smiling People, Smiling People
To play my compilation, recall the innovation
That so inspired a generation, generation
To semi-pro implementation,
Smiling People, local combo
available for any gig
Smiling People, ooh, ooh…
(who gives a fig)
