And I learned the truth from Lenny Bruce,
And all my wealth won't buy me health,
So I smoke a pint of tea a day.
INTERLUDE:

I knew a man, his brain was so small,

He couldn't think of nothing at all.

Whoever he was.
LA
The man ain't got no culture,
But it's alright, Ma, everybody must get stoned.
VERSE 3: (as before)
