You're a Viper (The Reefer Song) Songtext
von Fats Waller

I dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long
Mighty miff and not too strong
You′ll be high but not for long
If you a viper

I am the queen of everything
I got to be high before I can swing
Light a tea and let it be
If you a viper

Then your throat gets dry
You know you're high
Everything is dandy
Bust on down to the corner store
Crack your mouth on peppermint candy


Then you know your body is spent
You don′t care if you don't pay rent
The sky is high and so am I
If you a viper

I dreamed about a reefer 5 feet long
Mighty miff but not too strong
You'll be high but not for long
If you a viper

I am the queen of everything
I′ve got to be high before I can sing
Light a tea and let it be
If you a viper

Well, then your throat gets dry
You know you′re high
Everything is dandy
You bust it down to the corner store
Break your mouth on candy


Then you know your body is spent
You don't care if you don′t pay rent
The sky is high and so am I
If you a viper
