A letra:

A lady that I know just came from Colombia
She smiled because I did not understand
Then she held out some marijuani ha-ha
She said it was the best in all the land

And I said: No no no no, I don't smoke it no more
I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,

It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

A woman that I know just came from Mallorca Spain
She smiled because I did not understand

Then she held out a 10 pound bag of Cocaine
She said it was the best in all the land

And I said: No no no no, I don't sniff it no more

I'm tired of waking up on the floor
No, thank you, please,
It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

A man I know just came from Nashville Tennessee oh
He smiled because I did not understand
Then he held out some moonshine whiskey oh-ho
He said it was the best in all the land

And I said: No no no no, I don't drink it no more
I'm tired of wakin' up on the floor
No, thank you, please,

It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door

And I said: No no no no, I can't take it no more
I'm tired of wakin' up on the floor
No, thank you, please,

It only makes me sneeze
And then it makes it hard to find the door
