Speaker A
He crossed this young man who was likewise peddling pot, and the devil slid down the beach to the kid and said, "Boy, let me tell you what.
Speaker A
I guess you kind of figure I'm a reaper, he said, of course, and after all this time, I guess that I'm a connoisseur of sorts.
Speaker A
Now your stuff smells okay, but just to tranquilize the horse, I bet a million in cash against your stash to think mine's better than yours.
Speaker A
The boy said, "My name is Johnny, and you ain't smoked nothing yet, one hit of this grass will kick your ass, you've got yourself a bet.
Speaker A
Johnny rolled a ball of hash and make sure it's the bomb, cause the devil's got the kind of stuff they smoked in Vietnam.
Speaker A
You'll get a million smackeroos in cash if you can go, but if you can't, then the devil will get your dough.
Speaker A
The devil packed a bong with a little Acapulco Gold, and resin flew from his fingertips as he fired up his bowl, he filled that chamber all the way and he took a mighty hit.
Speaker A
And as they passed it back and forth, it gave them both a coughing fit.
Speaker A
When the bowl was finished, Johnny said, "Hey man, that stuff was great, but fill your lungs with some of this and prepare to vegetate.
Speaker A
Cannabis sativa, sweet Mary Jane, the devil's in the backyard crying his brains.
Speaker A
Zig-zag filled with a diggity-dag, hold on Johnny, you'll hit you like a tank.
Speaker A
The devil nodded off because he knew that he was stoned, and he asked if he could buy an ounce of the stuff that Johnny owned.
Speaker A
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever want to catch a buzz, I done told you once, you son of a bitch, mine's the best there ever was.
Speaker A
And they fired up doobies one by one.
Speaker A
Hey, I got a fat kill the bag is done, green as a bullfrog, sticky as glue.
Speaker A
Brandy, do you get high? Yes, I do.
