Текст песни Reefer Man (1933)

- Man, what's the matter with that cat there?
- Must be full of reefer.
- Full of reefer?!
- Yeah man.
- You mean that cat's high?!
- Sailing.
- Sailing?
- Sailing lightly.
- Get away from here. Man, is that the reefer man?
- That's the reefer man.
- I belive he's losing his mind.
- I think he's lost his mind!

Oh, have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he said he swam to China, and he sell you South Carolina,
Then you know your talkin' to that reefer man.
Have you ever met funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Have you ever met funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he said he walks the ocean any time he takes the notion
Then you know you're talkin' to reefer man.

Have you ever met this funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Oh baby baby baby reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he trades you dimes for nickles
And calls watermellons pickles
Then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man.

Have you ever met funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he takes a sudden mania
He'll want to give you Pennsylvaina
oh you know you're talking to the reefer man.

Have you ever met funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Have you ever met funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he said Wall Street is frantic
Because he won't sell the Atlantic
then you know your talkin' to that reefer man!
