{verse 1} Well i’m sorry i canʼt stop and chat No i wonʼt be signing up for that It’s ok iʼm a terrible person Well i wanna save the whales too But its a fuckin wednesday afternoon So a canvas bag and a smile is the best iʼve got for you

{chorus} All the things they do i donʼt disagree Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me If i could only quit my job i’d join the hippy elite

{verse 2} Well i havenʼt thrown myself in the road yet Or chained myself to a jumbo jet Avoidin plastics not very dramatic is it But one time i cycled all the way home Cos this planet is our only one But nobody saw it and i I felt all the worse for it – It wasnʼt my bike

{chorus} All the things they do i donʼt disagree Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me If i could only quit my job i’d join the hippy elite Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me If i could only quit my job i’d join the hippy elite

{verse 3} If i had all that money in my pocket Drink all that local beer and ride that eco rocket Organically hand feed idols Transient low-res primal You know we all just do the best we can And time and tideʼll wait for no woman But i canʼt clean the entire ocean on my lunch break Oh no

{chorus} All the things they do i donʼt disagree Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me If i could only quit my job i’d join the hippy elite (i would tell everybody) Hug a tree for me, hug a tree for me (?) If i could only quit my job i’d join the hippy elite (?)
