Reefer Man
"Man whats the matter with that cat there?"
"Must be full of reefer"
"Full of reefer?!"
"Yeah, man"
"You mean that cat's high?!"
"Sailing"
"Sailing"
"Sailing lightly"
"Get away from here"
"Man is that the reefer man?"
"That's the reefer man"
"I believe he's losing his mind"
"I think he's lost his mind!"

Oh have you ever met that funny reefer man reefer man

2. I have an album with this song on it Hep, Hep was the band
Edited on Tue Dec-21-04 07:07 PM by Sequoia
or the title of the album, and it was from about 1976 (I still have it but no turntable). I played it and drove everyone mad since they only wanted to listen to Led Zepplin. Another funny song on it was, "A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But a Bird".

3. Cab Calloway
performed this song in the W.C. Filds comedy "International House." It's probably the least strange thing about the movie. In fact, it might help you to stop and see the reefer man before you view it. :smoke:
