[Song]
Oh, have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man? (Reefer man!)
If he said he swam to China, and he 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 said 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 (Reefer man!)
If he trades you dimes for nickles 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

Have 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
