THE OLD DOPE PEDDLER - TOM LEHRER
"When the shades of night are falling,
Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows,
It'
s the old dope peddler,
Spreading
joy wherever he goes.
Ev'ry evening you will find him,
Around our neighborhood.
It'
s the old dope peddler
Doing well by doing good.
He gives the kids free samples,
Because he knows full well
That today'
s young innocent faces
Will be tomorrow's clientele.
Here's a cure for all your troubles,
Here's an end to all distress.
It's the old dope peddler
With his powdered ha-
happiness."
