Reefer Man Songtext
von Don Redman

Say, did you ever meet that, uh, reefer man?
No, I never met the guy, tell me about him
Oh no, you′re not kiddin' me now, are ya?
You never met the reefer man?
Oh no, you never met the reefer man?
And yet you say you swim to China
And you wanted to sell me South Carolina?
I believe you know the reefer man

Did you ever meet the funny reefer man?
You never met the funny reefer man?
And yet you say you walk the ocean
Anytime you take a notion?
Yeah, I believe you′ve seen the reefer man

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?

Have you ever met that funny reefer man?
Oh, he trade you dimes for nickels
And he calls watermelon pickles
Yeah, I'm talkin' about the reefer man


Did you ever meet that little old reefer man?
Did you ever meet that little old reefer man?
If he takes a sudden mania
And he wants to give you Pennsylvania
I′m still talkin′ about the reefer man
Have you ever met that little old reefer man?
Ever met that funny little reefer man?
If he sells Wall Street, it's frantic
′Cause he won't sell him the Atlantic
Oh, that′s that reefer man

Well, I'm well acquainted with the reefer man
Yeah Jim, I, I know the reefer man, hmm
If I claim I own a portion of the Rockefeller fortune
And you knew I just left that reefer man
Yeah, I know the reefer man

Yeah, I′m well acquainted with the reefer man
So if I claim I have a billion
And I want to trade it to you for a million
I just left that reefer man
How well I know the reefer man
Oh, I'm so well acquainted with the reefer man
So if you hear me sniff and giggle
And start to squirm and wiggle
Oh, that little reefer man
