Bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me a reefer when I want to get high
Bring me champagne when I'm thirsty
Bring me a reefer when I want to get high
Well you know when I'm lonely
Bring my woman, set her there by my side

Should be no law
If people that want to smoke a little dope
Should be no law
If people that want to smoke a little dope
Well you know it's good for your head
And it relax your body, don't you know

Yeah, baby, that's all right

Bring me champagne when I'm thirsty - what?
And give me a reefer when I want to get high - that's it, that's it
Yeah, give me champagne when I'm thirsty
Give me a reefer when I want to get high - you're right
Ah you know whenever I'm lonely
Set my woman right down here by my side

Hey, hey, hey
Yeah I see no reason why, I see no reason why (...) want
Should have to smoke a little dope
Ah whenever I'm lonely baby
Set my woman down here by my side

Hey, hey, hey, everybody, everybody
I got a verse I want to hear
I want to hear this verse
Just keep it going, keep it going like that
Everytime I get high
I lay my head down in my baby's breast - that's a good verse there, boy
Everytime I get high
I lay my head down in my baby's breast
Well you know I lay down, be quiet
Trying so hard to take my rest

We're going back again
We're going back out there again
Wait a minute

I'm going to get high
I want to get high just as sure as my name
Yeah, it's time I get high - I'm going to get high
I'm going to get high as sure as my name
Well you know I'm going to stick here by my reefer
I ain't going to be messing around with no cocaine
