The Lyrics

*maunder: to talk in a rambling, foolish, or meaningless way
I am high on peyote,
When I gorge, I maunder.*
My deficits don't fall; they grow.
The stuff cost me a fortune.
But it was well worth it.
I like it just as much as blow,
Like it just as much as blow.
Can I plant it with a hoe?

I'll plant it on my rancho.
I won't tell my master; he'd get bent
Out of shape. . .berate loudly,
Then he might pop a stent.
I found heaven, but I still like a little sin.
I near choked on that pretzel repast
Because I had been drinking Everclear and gin.
Like the old days--boy, was I smashed!

I am high on peyote
On my rancho in Crawford.
My Mephisto calls and I go.
We are blowing a fortune.
And it's kind of awkward,
'Cause we're "conservatives," ya know?
Like my "faith," this, shtik is faux.
Onward to score some more blow!

Where do you come up with all these words? I'd say you must have a Thesaurus, but they're extinct.
