[Chorus]

He's not appreciated

He's not appreciated

He's not appreciated


[Verse 1]

Drink the long draught, Dan

For the Hip Priest

I said drink the long draught, Dan

For the Hip Priest!

He's not appreciated

He's not appreciated

White collar hits motorway services

It's the Hip Priest

From the eyes he can see, they know

It's the Hip Priest

He's not appreciated

It's purple psychology

Not just an old lady's

It's like it's heaven-sent

That's hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip priest

That's hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip priest


[Verse 2]

And he's gonna make an appearance

He's gonna make an appearance

I was shown in a freakshow, early on

And drunk from small brown bottles

Since I was so long-gone

Cause I'm a Hip Priest

Cause I'm a Hip Priest

And people only need me

When they're down and gone to seed

Cause I'm a Hip Priest

Cause I'm a Hip Priest

It's appreciation half won

And they hate their allegiance to hip preacher one

Hip Priest


[Verse 3]

I got my last clean dirty shirt outta the wardrobe

I got my last clean dirty shirt outta the wardrobe

And all the good people know

That's hip hip hip hip hit hit hit Hip Priest

All the young groups know

All the young groups know

They can imitate but I teach, because I'm a Hip Priest

I'm as clean as a packet of Chocolate Treets

One-time feast was tray o'grease, hip priest

I practise bad unfeared art

That's hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip hip priest

And if the good people knew they would say, heh

He is not appreciated

He is not appreciated

So drink the long draught, Dan

For the hip priest
