I went to a party

The other night

I wanted to feel my brain was light

So i grabbed myself a bottle

And i started drinking wine

I thought pretty soon, i'd be feeling fine

But i couldn't get high! oh, no!

I couldn't get high!

So i threw down my bottle

And whipped out my pipe

And i stuffed it full of grass

And i gave myself a lot

I huffed, i puffed

I smoked and i toked

After a while, my heart was nearly broke

Because i couldn't get high, oh, no!

I couldn't get high!

So i threw down my pipe

As mad as i could be

And i got me a cube of lsd

I waited thirty minutes for my body to sing

I waited and i waited

But i couldn't be located (??)

Because i couldn't get high, oh, no!

I couldn't get high!

I couldn't get high!

I don't know why!

I couldn't get high!
