Reefer Man Songtext
von Cab Calloway

Man, what′s the matter with that cat there?
Must be full of reefer
Full of reefer?
Yeah, man
You mean that cat's high?
Sailing
Sailing?
Sailing lightly
Get away from here

Man, is that the reefer man?
That′s the reefer man
I believe he's losin' his mind
I think he′s lost his mind


Oh, have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
If he says he swam to China, and he′ll sell you South Carolina
Then you know you're talkin′ to that reefer man (reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
If he says he walks the ocean, any time he takes the notion
Then you know you're talkin′ to reefer man (reefer man)

Have you ever met this funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, reefer man (reefer man)
If he trades you dimes for nickels and calls watermelons pickles
Then you know you're talkin′ to that reefer man (reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
If he takes a sudden mania, wants to give you Pennsylvania
Then you know you're talking to the reefer man

You ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man)
If he says Wall Street is manic 'cause he won′t sell the Atlantic
Then you know you′re talkin' to that reefer man
