The Rainbow Express
Once I rode a bus with a bunch of hippies
Summer is a good time to go wild
I used to get wild in the summer
If the cops come, tell them we are friends
It is a friend’s bus when the cops come
To take money you have to have a permit
If you have a permit you can take money
Some people run to escape from life
Running is a good way to escape
A rocket can take you to the moon
You can take a rocket to outer space
There are so many ways to get high
If you want to get high there are many ways
Once I rode a bus with a bunch of hippies.
