lyrics

2- WHAT WE GONNA DO?
Seed/Chillum: What we gonna do today?
What we gonna do today?
Don’t want to read a book today
Don’t want to go to church today
And I don’t wand to see another job today.
Don’t wanna ride the bus today
I want to give my germs away
I wish I knew how I got here
Just need another six of beer
And I can’t seem to score a lousy buck today

What we gonna do when the rent is due?
In and out of work, nothing special can do
Gotta get out, gotta get high
Bottle of scotch, hashish pie
Gotta get out, stuck in my head
Don’t want to shine shoes
I’d rather play dead

( They see old, Partially Wise Man…)

Seed: Who’s that old man sitting on the corner…
Chillum: On an old white rug…
Both: With a bicycle tube ‘round his neck?
He looks like he’s been here for hundreds of years
Seed: Say there, old man, what is happening?
How long ‘ya been here?
Chillum: Got any spare change?
Both: Looks like you’ve been here for a while
Love your carpet, nice high pile
Know any good spots we could occupy
Where alcoholic beverages come freely by?
Or if you have DRUGS on your mind,
We’d love to know where we could find quality,
Cheap-fully, stone-fully…

( They surround Partially Wise Man, squatting on rug….)

OldMan:Schmucks! So you think I got to this position by pan-handling
and larking about? I wasn’t born beautiful, I had to work at it.
It took all my life to achieve peaceful harmony within myself.
You fellas look like a couple of good Joes, tell you what I’m
gonna do…
( Seed & Chillum lean closer to Old Man..)

I know the secret of eternal happiness,
But it takes LOTS OF WORK.
( They reel back in obvious pain..)

Seed/Chillum: WORK?!?
Don’t want to go to work Don’t want to think tall
Don’t want to do it right Don’t want to do it at all
And I never want to get a friggin’ job again
We should be actively, eternally…..
Dreaming, dreaming of the Perfect High

Old Man: hmmmm…seems to me a couple of pencil neck geeks such as yourselves could use a break. Tell you what I’m gonna do, take this here SACRED BICYCLE INNER TUBE…

( Takes it off his own neck…)
And carry it with you at all times for it will protect you from many
mysteries that lie ahead; for you will have to journey through
strange lands to find he that knows the PERFECT HIGH..
To the land of the PANCHILLA GORILLA
Seed/
Chillum: What the f…?
