Green hocker croakin'
In the Pygmy Twylyte
Crankin' an' a-coke'n
In the Winchell's do-nut Midnite
Out of his deep on a 'fore day run
Hurtin' for sleep in the Quaalude Moonlight
Green hocker in a Greyhound locker
Smokin' in the Pygmy Twylyte
Joined the bus on the 33rd seat
By the doo-doo room with the reek replete
Crystal eye, crystal eye
Got a crystal kidney & he's 'fraid to die
In the Pygmy Twylyte
Downer midnite
Pygmy Twylyte
Downer midnite
Pygmy Twylyte
Downer midnite
Pygmy Twylyte
Downer midnite
Sunrise
Get up in the mornin'
Feelin' fine
Must be early mornin'
Let me tell you what happened to me the other day
I got up, the sun was fine
Grabbed my hat, washed my facial hair
Put in on to the side
I take a walk downtown
See how everything's doing
I ran into a man
Sunglasses on his face
Said, "Look here buddy, wanna tell you something"
"Take you to a better place"
I said no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
I'm feelin' fine
He said, "Do you wanna get high?"
I said no, no, no, I really don't need it
He said, "Yes you do"
He took out a high school diploma
Took out a high school diploma
Cut up a old rusty sock
Rolled it up
Roll it up
And he rolled it up
Rolled it in in my mouth
Struck a match, lit it up
Had to turn my hat around
I started feeling fine, he said, "Damn"
Doesn't make me high enough, so he said, "Here"
"Take this conservatory music diploma"
He said, "You gon' get even higher"
He said, "If this don't do it", he said "I got a diploma here"
"Higher education, its gonna turn you on"
I said, "No, you're wrong"
"Its gonna turn you on", thats what he said
I said, "No, you're wrong"
He said, "Naw, its gonna turn you on"
I said, "Well then..."
Roll it up, roll it up
I smoked it and started dancing
I said, "Still didn't do what you said you gonna do"
He said, "Hey, come on with me"
He took me down to another man
Big hat on, cape around his shoulders
Mustache rolled down here
Mixed up a magic potion
Smoke comin' out all over
He said, "Drink this potion, gonna feel alright"
I said, "No, no"
He said, "Drink this potion, you gonna feel alright"
I could see people all over
Just reaching and grabbing
I could see people all over
Just reaching and grabbing
Trying to get to me
He said, "Here, take this"
He said, "Yeah, take some of this"
I said, "Wait a minute, I think"
"I think they gave me too much"
"I think it was too much"
"I think they gave me too much"
I said, "The only way I'm gonna find out"
Put somethin' in this
He took the magic powder, he took the magic powder
Smoke comin' out, the man with the robe
All people all around him
Givin' him this and that
Cocaine, Benzedrine
Another cat over there gave him a bottle of Clorox
And said, "Pour some of this in here"
Gave him some common cleanser from over here
Said, "Pour some of that in there"
Really mixed that up real nice
So I said, "Go ahead, I'm ready"
Young man trying to get ahead in the world
Wanna get a little experienced, Hollywood (dummy up)
So he put -- did you hear somebody say, "Dummy up?"
(Just dummy up)
Did you hear somebody say, "Dummy up?"
He proceeded to put it in his arm
I said "Oh, wait a minute"
"I think you gave me too much" (dummy up)
But I felt better, turned around, start runnin'
I got to stop a second
They were all behind me, reaching and grabbing
But I kept on running
Got tired on his leg so I slipped
Think I got out of here, anybody seen my hat?
