Tricky Dicky - Country Joe McDonald

Alright, 1, 2;

1, 2, 3

Late last night I was watchin' the tube

When I saw the most incredible thing

They built a new mechanical man

Looked just like a human being

I started to become terrified

Good God it was makin' me sick

And then I began to realize

It was no one but Tricky Dick

Yes, it was Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

He walks and he talks, he smiles, he frowns

He does what a human can

It was Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

The genuine plastic man

There is no can’t in American

Or so we once could say

But now our boys won’t fight no more

To bring us victory

Where are the mountain majesties

Above the fruited plains?

Who will come to lead us

In our hour of pain?

Why it’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

It’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

He walks and he talks, he smiles, he frowns

He does what a human can

He’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

The genuine plastic man, hey!

Oh my God, it’s terrible

Here in the U.S.A

The water’s polluted, the economy’s crashing

And can someone save the day?

The war keeps going on and on

And the kids won’t respect the cops

It’s even said that God is dead

When will it ever stop?

Hey, it’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

He walks, he talks, he smiles, he frowns

He does what a human can

He’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

The genuine plastic man

And across the garbaged highways

From the oil-drenched plains

Now we’ll see a victory

America shall rise again

Past the word that the buffalo heard

To the home of the free and the brave

He’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

Well, it’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

Hip hip hip hurrah

He walks, he talks, he smiles, he frowns

He does what a human can

He’s Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda

The genuine plastic man, oh yeah

He’s the genuine plastic man, oh yeah

He’s the genuine plastic man
