Up on the Hill Where They Do the Boogie

D
John Hartford

Down in the city it's a pity what's there            D
All the kids in the gutter runnin' really bare                A  D
How much money do I have to get                
To get me set where the jet set gets                        A  D

Chorus
Up on the hill where they do the boogie        G    D
(dododododododo, the boogie)                A    D
I wonder what they're doin'    when they dodo the boogie   G     D
And I wonder what I'm doin' here        quick G A D
(Walk up) G > Bb     > quick G A D

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 alone
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]

Dry & Dusty X 5

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]

Dry & Dusty
