Manchester England Lyrics by James Rado, Hair Ensemble

Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1968

[CLAUDE]
Manchester England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me
That's me

Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini
And Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one
One Claude Hooper Bukowski

Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary?
Answer my weary query
Timothy Leary dearie

[CLAUDE & TRIBE]
Oh, Manchester England, England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius, genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude

[CLAUDE]
That's me

[TRIBE]
That's he

[CLAUDE]
That's me

[TRIBE]
That's he

[CLAUDE]
That's me

[TRIBE]
That's he

[CLAUDE]
That's me
