Everyone knows this song, right? Just in case you don’t, the lyrics can be found [here](http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/afroman/becauseigothigh.html). The idea is to make up some new verses to the song.

I was gonna go shopping with you, but I got high  
I was gonna buy you a present too, but I got high  
Now I’m alone on Christmas, and I know why  
Because I got high  
Because I got high  
Because I got high

Anyone else want to play?

I was gonna post a new GQ thread, but then I got high.  
I fixed it myself instead, and then I got high.  
Now my house is on fire and I know why.  
Because I got high.  
Because I got high.  
Because I got high.
