Tricky Dicky

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
Then I began to realize it was no one but Tricky Dick.

It was Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah
It was Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah.
Well, he walks and he talks and he smiles, he frowns, he does what a human can,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda, he's the genuine plastic man.
Try to sing it out with me, c'mon.

Well, he's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah, c'mon
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah.
Well, he walks and he talks and he smiles and he frowns, he does what a human can,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda, he's the genuine plastic man.
Oh, that's great.

There is no cantin Aemrican or so we once could say
But now our boys won't fight no more to bring us victory.
Where are the mountains 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.
Well, he walks and he talks and he smiles and he frowns, he does what a human can,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda, he's the genuine plastic man.

Well, 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, well, when will it ever stop ?

Call Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah,
Call Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah,
Well, he walks and he talks and he smiles and he frowns, he does what a human can,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda, he's the genuine plastic man.

And across the garbaged highways from the oil-drenched plains
Now we'll see a victory, America shall rise again.
Pass 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, he's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda hip hip hip hurrah.
Well, he walks and he talks and he smiles and he frowns, he does what a human can,
He's Tricky Dicky from Yorba Linda, he's the genuine plastic man, oh yeah,
He's the genuine plastic man, huh uh,
He's the genuine plastic man, oh yeah.

Thank you.
