Lyrics   status: confirmed

Pass me a joint (joint joint joint)
It's time to anoint (noint noint noint)
The fortunate son (son son son)
And his cosmic exploits (sploits sploits sploits)
Spark that shit up... (up up up up up up)

oh yeah

Get me a beer (beer beer beer)
I feel kinda queer (queer queer queer)
I wanna get fucked up
And get outta here (here here here)
Pop me a fuckin' tall one...
(one one one one one one one one)

oh yeah

Take off yr clothes (clothes clothes clothes)
But leave on yr shoes (shoes shoes shoes)
You smell like a rosary
And you look like a jew (jew jew jew)
You drunk all my wine girl...
(girl girl girl girl girl girl girl)

An empty bottle
It's nothing but trouble
Another bottle
And make it a double
We're getting thirsty... (thirsty thirsty thirsty thirsty)

Nowhere to go, nothing to do
Nowhere to go with someone like you
Nothing to do, cuz nothing is new
When no one is home, there's no one like you
No one to see, nothing to say
Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay
No one is home, no one is home
There's no one like you, never alone
Nowhere to go, nothing to do
Nothing to say, there's no one like you
Nowhere to go, nowhere to go
Nothing to do, there's no place like home

Pass me a quaalude
Let's do it in the nude
I think I like you
I think I'll drink you
Pass me a vacuum....
(vacuum vacuum vacuum vacuum)
