(Thomas "Fats" Waller)
|
[Instrumental Intro]
|
|
Talk about a reefer of five feet long
|
Not too fat and not too strong
|
You get high, but not for long
|
If you'se a viper
|
|
Now I'm the king of everything
|
Got to get high for to sing
|
Light that tee and we will see
|
If you'se a viper
|
|
When coke gets dry you know you're high
|
Everything is hip and dandy
|
Truck on down to the candy store
|
Bust your chops on some peppermint candy
|
|
Now you know that you been sent
|
Don't give a damn if you can't pay the rent
|
The sky is high and so am I
|
If you'se a viper
|
|
