Well I was walkin' along just the other day
I got stopped by a man givin' somethin' away
He gave me a picture, he gave me a sign
And a stick of incense he said was mine
So he asked me to come to a get together
The very next day, no matter the weather
There were men, there were ladies, all lookin' the same
I said slow down boy now what's the game
Pass the karma, or somethin' like that
Just bang the drum and pass the hat, sayin' -
Ooh, meditation, that's the name of the game
Ooh, save the nation, that's the name of the game
Well I stayed a while and had a cup of tea
Till they said the master would talk to me
He had a long black beard and long black hair
And he looked like a sunburnt teddy bear
So I just stopped dead and rubbed my eyes
Slapped my thigh, and split my sides
Well he just looked away with a faded air
Said you can laugh, I'm a millionaire
Well I stopped again, cleared my throat
'Cause that don't sound like a billy goat
Well I'll shave my head though I know it's a mess
But I draw the line at wearin' a dress, I say -
Ooh meditation, that's the name of the game
Ooh, save the nation, that's the name of the game
Ooh, I've seen the li-ight, God is with me now, I'm alri-ight
I eat no beef, just milk and honey
I stop you in the street and take your money
Can't stop laughin' at the guru - he means everything he say-ays
Can't stop laughin' at the guru - he can't hear us anyway-ay
Can't stop laughin' at the guru - he means everything he say-ays
Can't stop laughin' at the guru - he can't hear us anyway-ay
Can't stop laughin' at the guru - he means everything he say-ays-acapo
