The Lyrics
It's been around forever--who lit the very first bong?
You sure know how to put it all together--
You hear music when you light your bong
Chorus:
You light your bong and now the whole world stinks
And now you've told yourself you're Col. Clink
You light your bong and smoke gets in my eyes
You light your bong, you light your bong
Skunk Passion is your favorite
It's got its own place in your soul
Now you have very bloodshot eyes
And you're lookin kind of haggard and old
When your bong's lit you can't dance
You can't even put on your pants
And in a short while, you won't even move
Smoke fills up the room
I'll be leaving very soon
Gotta breathe, get some air,
Gotta get outta here
To a place that's smoke-free
You light your bong and make the whole world stink
And now you've told yourself you're Col. Clink
You light your bong and smoke gets in my eyes
You light your bong, you light your bong
You sure know how to put it all together--
You hear music when you light your bong
Chorus:
You light your bong and now the whole world stinks
And now you've told yourself you're Col. Clink
You light your bong and smoke gets in my eyes
You light your bong, you light your bong
Skunk Passion is your favorite
It's got its own place in your soul
Now you have very bloodshot eyes
And you're lookin kind of haggard and old
When your bong's lit you can't dance
You can't even put on your pants
And in a short while, you won't even move
Smoke fills up the room
I'll be leaving very soon
Gotta breathe, get some air,
Gotta get outta here
To a place that's smoke-free
You light your bong and make the whole world stink
And now you've told yourself you're Col. Clink
You light your bong and smoke gets in my eyes
You light your bong, you light your bong

ugh, I hate glorifying drug culture.
This parody in no way glorifies the drug culture---"the whole world stinks"........did you read the lines--I think you're more interested in throwing mud on me than on reading my parody. Too bad.
"When your bong's lit you can't dance You can't even put on your pants
You light your bong and make the whole world stink"
That is glorifying? Sheesh! Seemed fine to me Royce, I enjoyed it.
