Oh No Doctor

Oh no doctor
                                         I have to disagree
                                    Getting hooked on marijuana
                                         Had no effect on me.


                                       I thought I saw a seesaw
                                       A seesaw I thought I saw 
                                  but the seesaw that I thought I saw
                                          I can't see anymore.

                                       Sat in that leather chair
                                  Waiting for the guy to test my eyes
                                       He started drilling my teeth
                                      That sure took me by surprise .

                                                Oh no doctor
                                            I have to disagree
                                        Getting hooked on marijuana
                                            Had no effect on me.


                                        It was then I saw the poster
                                       Get your sex here for a change
                                      But the surgeon chopped off my todger 
                                       I thought that a little strange.

                                       I admit to muddled thinking
                                      Seeing things that are not there
                                          But I have an explanation 
                                          That I'm willing to share.

                                              It is not my paranoia 
                                           Big brother is watching me
                                          Governments around the world 
                                    are engaged in a mind altering conspiracy .


                                                Oh no doctor 
                                              I have to disagree
                                          Getting hooked on marijuana
                                              Had no effect on me.


                    
                                                 No No doctor 
                                        I don't need that jacket so straight
                                           Leave those men in white coats
                                             Down by the garden gate.

                                               Please believe me doctor 
                                                  A junkie I am not
                                            Just because I spent my salary
                                                 On a few joints of pot.

                                             Yes I sold my mothers jewellery 
                                                    Stole my fathers car
                                             Spent my little brothers pocket money 
                                                 When I raided his penny jar.


                                                     So oh no doctor
                                                   I have to disagree
                                               Getting hooked on marijuana
                                                    Had no effect on me .
