Kitten With A Whippie

No groovier product
Than hair stuff in a can
Has ever been made for the Kids by the Man

Hey beatnik, it's heavier
Than double spelt bread
And never was there a more Grateful Head

For conditioner drips
When you're high on good karma
Your freak flag is flying but soap's messing your dharma

Though alternative lifestyles
May include tilting-head power
To avoid getting stuff in your eyes in the shower,

The Establishment thinks
It would be very funny
To see the Young Folks spend a whole lot of money,

For aerating makes volume
So what looks like a lot'll
Be half what you got when it came in a bottle

So draw headbands and peace signs
To make your head trippy;
But one thing is quite clear: no true hippie is Whippie.

Fun Fact: the Urban Dcitonary says that whippie is now used to mean a wealthy hippie - a hippie-crite, you might say. And Mr. Whippy is British (and New Zealander) ice cream - there was a Mr. Whippy truck in A Hard Day's Night, that's how I know. And I took the title from the 1964 Ann-Margret movie, link here.
