phil ochs - fifty mile hike lyrics

Loading...

some people never get their feet on the ground,
they’re either sitting in a chair or they’re laying down
their bellies are hanging down on their knees,
it’s almost a national emergency.
fifty miles, keep a-walking,
twenty-five miles and you’re almost there,
fifty miles no use a-talkin’,
better get in step with the new frontier.

well, the president put on his walkin’ shoes
he had a country with 30 millions pounds to lose
he remembered a promise he made ‘way back when
he’s gonna get the country movin’ again.
-chorus-

then everybody started getting into the act
even sallinger left but he soon came back
on his return he was heard to say
fifty miles a day keeps republicans away
-chorus-

rockefeller’s happy with his brand new wife,
and richard nixon’s done enough running for life
and lyndon johnson is too busy a man
and joseph p. kennedy bought out tom mccann.
-chorus-

so i decided i would carry my load
i grabbed a carton of cigarettes and i hit the road,
the golf clubs were heavy and the gin was slow
if you want to get healthy, that’s the way to go.
-chorus-

while everybody’s goin’ out and havin’ fun
they ought to lose some weight in more ways than one
fity miles of thinking is a heavy strain
but it’s about the only cure, for an overweight brain.
-chorus-
