I Couldn't Get High - The Fugs

Well, I went to a party

Just the other night

I wanted to feel my brain was light

So I grabbed myself a bottle

And I started drinking wine

I thought pretty soon, I’d be feeling fine…

But I couldn’t get high!

Oh, No!

But I couldn’t get high!

Oh, No!

So I threw down the bottle

And I wiped out my pipe

And I stuffed it full of grass

And i gave myself a light

I huffed, I puffed

I smoked and I toked

But after awhile, my heart was nearly broke… because

I couldn’t get high, Oh, No!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, No!

So I threw down my pot

As mad as I can be

And I gobbled up a cube of LSD

I waited 30 minutes for my body to sink

I waited and I waited but I couldn’t feel a thing

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!

Don’t know why, oh, no!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!

I couldn’t get high, Oh, no!
