You're A Viper [The Reefer Song] lyrics

So I dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long

A mighty miff, but not too strong

You'll be high but not for long

If you're a viper

I'm the king of everything

I got to be high before I swing

Let the bells ring, ding-dong-ding

If you're a viper

Say, you know you're high

When your throat gets dry

Mmmh, everything is dandy

Ah, yes, you run down to the candy store

Bust your conk on peppermint candy

Then you know your little brown body's sent

You don't give a darn if you don't pay rent

'Cause the sky is high

So am I, yes, yes

Yes, I'm a viper baby now

SOLO

Say, you know you're high,

Yes I know I'm high

'Cause everything is fine and dandy

Yes, goin' down to the candy store

And get me Wrigley's or some peppermint candy

I love it, I love it, yes, baby, but my body's sent

I ain't worried 'bout no rent -- get away from me you hussy, yeah

I'se high, so alive, gonna lay down and relax, oh yeah, oh dear
