In fact, it’s almost to the point where I’ve forgotten the ‘normal’ lyrics! **in play:** “I guess you kinda figured I’m a reefer head of course, And after all this time, I am a connoisseur of sorts.

One hit of this grass’ll kick your ass – you got yourself a bet.” Johnny, roll a ball of hash, and make sure it’s the bomb, 'Cause the devil’s got the kinda stuff they smoked in Vietnam. You’ll get a million smackaroos in cash if you can cope – But if you can’t, the devil gets your do-oh-oh-ope _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
