As recorded by THE COASTERS:

(Let's go get stoned)
Yeah!
(Oh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, let's go get stoned)
Woncha sing it one more time, children
(Let's go get stoned)
Yeah!
(Oh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh, let's go get stoned)

Now listen
When your baby won't let you in
You got a few pennies, buy a bottle of gin
And just call your buddy on the telephone
And say, "Let's go get stoned"

Sing it one more time now
(Let's go get stoned)
It's alright now, now, now, now
(Let's go get stoned)

Now wait a minute
When you work so hard all the day long, now
And everything you do seems to go wrong
Just drop by my place on your way home
And say, "Let's go get stoned"

Now listen
It ain't no harm in just takin' a little taste
But don't you blow your cool
And start messin' up the place now
And it ain't no harm in just takin' a little nip
(But don't you fall down and bust your lip)

Together now
(Let's go get stoned)
I believe it's all right
(Let's go get stoned)

Now listen to me
If you feel like you wanna fly
Just get a little high
And if you can't get your flat feet on the ground
Just buy another round
I swear we're gonna get stoned, woo-oooh
We're gonna get ossified
We're gonna get..........FADE)
