Dreamed about a reefer five feet long
Not too mild and not too strong,
You'll be high, but not for long,
If you're a viper - a vi-paah.
I'm the queen of everything
Gotta be high before I can sing,
Light a tea and let it be,
If you're a viper - a vi-paah.
And when your throat gets dry
You know you're high,
If you're a viper.
High, high, high, high, when you're high,
Everything is dandy,
Truck on down to the candy store,
Bust your conk on peppermint candy!
Then you know you're body's sent,
Don't care if you don't pay rent,
Sky is high and so am I
If you're a viper - a vi-paah.
Nathaneal West - The Day of the Locust, 1939
