Might have smoked a few in my time
But never thought it was a crime
Knew the day would surely come
When I'd chill and settle down

But when I think I've found a good old fashioned girl
Then she puts me in my plaaaaaaaaaace
Everyones a little queer
Why can't she be a little straight

as the verse and intro lead, but lower. Its
easy to figure out if you listen

Let me know the truth
