Song Lyrics

Say, man
What's the matter with that cat over there?
I don't know, man, I think he's losin' his mind

Losin' his mind?
Yeah
I think he lost his mind

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)

If he said he swam to China
Try to give you South Carolina
You know you're talkin' to that reefer man
(Reefer man)

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)
Have you ever met a funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)

If he said he walk the ocean
Anytime he take the notion
You know, you're talkin' to the reefer man
That's right

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)
Oh baby, baby, baby, reefer man
(Reefer man)

If he trades you dimes for nickels
Calls watermelons pickles
You know you're talkin' to that reefer man
(Reefer man)

Have you ever met a funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)
Have you ever met a funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)

If he gets a sudden mania
Tries to give you Pennsylvania
You know you're talkin' to that reefer man
Oh

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
(Reefer man)
Oh baby, baby, baby, reefer man
(Reefer man)

If he said one sweet is funny
And will last and taste like honey
You know you're talkin' to that reefer man

Ah, there he goes
There goes that crazy reefer man
Reefer man
