“Dont Bogart that Joint”

“Legalize it”

Legalize it – don’t criticize it 
Legalize it and i will advertise it 

Some call it tampee 
Some call it the weed 
Some call it Marijuana 
Some of them call it Ganja 

Legalize it – don’t criticize it 
Legalize it and i will advertise it 

Singer smoke it 
And players of instruments too 
Legalize it, yeah, yeah 
That’s the best thing you can do 
Doctors smoke it 
Nurses smoke it 
Judges smoke it 
Even the lawyers too 

Legalize it – don’t criticize it 
Legalize it and i will advertise it 

It’s good for the flu 
It’s good for asthma 
Good for tuberculosis 
Even umara composis 

Legalize it – don’t criticize it 
Legalize it and i will advertise it 

Bird eat it 
And they leave it 
Fowls eat it 
Goats love to play with it

“Kaya”

(Wake up and -) Wake up and turn I loose,
For the rain is fallin’!

Got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
Got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya)
Got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
For the rain is fallin’!

We-e-e-e-e-ell, I feel so high,
I even touch the sky
Above the fallin’ rain!
I feel so good in my neighbourhood,
So: here I come again!

I’ve got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
Got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya)
I’ve got to have kaya now (kaya, kaya),
For the rain is fallin’!

For the rain is fallin’!

“Smoke Two Joints”

I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joint at night
I smoke two joint in the afternoon
It makes me feel all right

I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more

Daddy he once told me,
“Son, you be hard workin’ man”
And momma she once told me,
“Son, you do the best you can”
Then one day I meet a man,
He came to me and said,
“Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head”

Whoa rock me to the night

“Illegal Smile”

When I woke up this morning, things were lookin’ bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down… and won
And it was twelve o’clock before I realized
That I was havin’ .. no fun

Chorus:
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone
No I’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin’ thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I’ve been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street… dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Tryin’ to get away
From all the ears inside my walls
I dreamed the police heard
Everything I thought… what then?
Well I went to court
And the judge’s name was Hoffman

Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won’t you please tell the man I didn’t kill anyone
No I’m just tryin’ to have me some fun
Well done, hot dog bun, my sister’s a nun

“One Toke over the Line”

One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin’ for the train that goes home, sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Who do you love, I hope it’s me
I’ve been changin’, as you can plainly see
I felt the joy and I learned about the pain that my momma said
If I should choose to make a part of me, would surely strike me dead
Now I’m one toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
I’m waitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I been away a country mile,
Now I’m returnin’ showin’ off a smile
I met all the girls and loved myself a few
Ended by surprise like everything else I’ve been through
It opened up my eyes and now I’m
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
Don’t you just know I’m waitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

Don’t you just know I’m waitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

I want to be
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Don’t you just know I’m waitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary
Hopin’ that the train is on time
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line

“Burn One Down”

Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we’ll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.

If you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around,
’cause I’m gonna burn one down.
Yes, I’m gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I’m causing no harm, it shouldn’t bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you’re causin’ no harm, then you’re alright with me.

If you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around,
’cause I’m gonna burn one down.
Yes, I’m gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what’s from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you’ll see it’s a blessing and not a curse.

If you don’t like my fire, then don’t come around,
’cause I’m gonna burn one down.
Yes, I’m gonna burn one, oohhh.
