about

In the tradition of Tom Lehrer, Oscar Brand, Dan Hicks, this catchy number takes aim at a taboo.

lyrics

C A N N A BIS, C A N N A B I S
Cannabis, let’s talk about Cannabis, medicinal
It’s a plant with a past, THC works really fast, Cannabis the word

Cannabis, bring out the Cannabis, no worries mon, love to have a little dose that makes a medicine out of an herb

Soft drinks, rot your teeth. Caffeine, is just speed
Anything that needs a doctor to sign is, guaranteed to mess with your mind

Cannabis, how bout that Cannabis, let’s watch the show.
Passing a dispensary have to slow down just to see
who’s going inside
What’s wrong with Cannabis? Stoner’s pride

Mother sent me a grocery list, is there anything I missed?
Orange juice, cranberry juice, soy milk, bottled water?
and a liter of Bombay gin.
And she put in an emoticon with a silly grin

Cannabis, let’s talk about cannabis, you got any? Love to have a salad green that won’t get stuck between your teeth, cannabis the word.

Cannabis, bring on de cannabis, no worries mon, love to have a little dose that makes a medicine out of an herb.

What about the crime? And all the people doing time? And what about the folks who don’t like the smell, or think that society is marching…. straight to hell?

Cannabis! What’s wrong with Cannabis? Bring on it. It can solve some social ills and pay a lot of medical bills. If cannabis can’t do it, what can? Can cannabis? I think it can, do you think it can?
