A partially true story about cannabis. You guess which parts are true. :)

lyrics

The devil's lettuce in the 80s
Wasn't like it is today
I rarely smoked it in my youth
It fried me like an egg
Time goes by, now it's a legal high
I never thought I'd see the day
So I went down to the cannabis store
To see the budtender there.
She saw I was new and asked "What can I do?"
She had eyes as green as Snoop's Dream
I said "My name is Dan", she said "I'm Roseanne"
I told her I need a gram
She said "I've got what you need
It's just the right speed."
She showed me her flower and said
"IT'S DAD WEED!"

Dad weed
It's just about your speed
Not too little, not too much
It's got the right touch
It's dad weed

She gave me a lighter
And asked me when I'm free
I told her "Friday eve"
She said "Baby, that works for me."
Well Friday at 4 came a knock on my door
She strolled in with a smile
"I brought your dad weed, but it's not my style
When I come back again, I'll bring a new flower friend.
We'll get you up to speed beyond the dad weed."

Dad weed
It's just about your speed
Not too little, not too much
It's got the right touch
It's dad weed

The weekend was long
The high was strong
We were rollin' and shakin'
The sparks were flying high
She loaded the bong
We banged a gong
And got it on.

As the weeks fly by
Roseanne and I
Are smokin' most every day
One day she arrives with a look in her eye
She said "I've got a surprise. The rabbit died."
I was stunned and amazed, confused and dazed
I didn't know what to say
The scan showed two
A boy and girl were due!
Thank god for dad weed I'm unfazed!

Dad weed
It's just about your speed
Not too little, not too much
It's got the right touch
It's dad weed
