Lyrics:
- Down in the city it's a pity what's there.
- All the kids in the gutter runnin' really bare
- How much money do I have to get
- To get me set where the jet set gets
- Chorus:
- Up on the hill where they do the boogie
- (dododododododo, the boogie)
- I wonder what they're doin' when they dodo the boogie
- And I wonder what I'm doin' here
- Down in the city if a-you ain't dead
- You better watch that man, he gonna bust your head
- Throw you over and leave you aloone
- He's a-twenty minutes late, He's gotta be back home
- (Chorus)
- The rat's in the alley and a roach on the floor
- A businessman huntin' for a two-bit whore
- I thought I heard some housewife say
- I gotta go up the hill for the PTA
- (Chorus)
- A-Some folks say that a hippie won't steal
- But I caught three in my corn field
- One had a flag and the other had a bomb
- And the third ol' boy was a-gettin' on home
- (Chorus)
- Now all I know about is a-what I read
- A-see it comin' at me on the TV screen
- Every time they boogie well it gives me a thrill
- But they always seem to do it way up on the hill
- (Chorus)
- dodododododododododododododododododododdo do dodod dodo
