lyrics

Oh, wonderful day, pot now legal
All your aches and pains be gone
The mute will sing, the blind will see
All in praise of this precious weed

Stoners will still be stoned
Yeah chillin’ just like Dylan on a rainy day
Not everybody must but most will just
puff their cares away
Legal weed an anti-climax just like Y-2-K

Governments may fall, stock markets too
Cop shops will empty, jailbirds will fly the coop
With our social ills just an old stain from the past
Now green is gold, and no one’s driving fast

Stoners will still be stoned
Not just them mellow funny fellows
Dogg and Cheech ‘n Chong
Dave’s not here man, but come on in and
take a rip on this bong
Now it’s your dentists and your lawyers
And they can’t all be wrong

Tear up your wasteful lawns, who needs bluegrass
When you can cultivate some Purple Kush instead
Forget the chores, just let your spirit soar
And join the movement that’s so long been abhorred

Stoners will still be stoned
Yeah chillin’ just like Dylan on a rainy day
Not everybody must but most will just puff their cares away
‘Cuz here in Can-ganj-ada legal weed was just another day
