Manhattan Transfer - YOU'SE A VIPER lyrics

rate me

(Instrumental Intro)

Talk about a reefer of five feet long

Not too fat and not too strong

You get high, but not for long

If you'se a viper

Now I'm the king of everything

Got to get high *(be)'fore I can* sing

Light that tee and we will see

If you'se a viper

When throat gets dry you know you're high

Everything is hip and dandy

Truck on down to the candy store

Bust your KONK (straightened male hairdo) on some peppermint candy

Now you know that you been sent

Don't give a damn if you can't pay the rent

The sky is high and so am I

If you'se a viper

(Instrumental)

When your throat gets dry you know you're high

Everything is hip and dandy

Truck on down to the candy store

Bust your *KONK* on peppermint candy

Now you*r the king of* everything

Got to get high for to sing

Light that tee and we will see

If you'se a viper
