Verse 1:

        You know I work so hard all the day long

        (Let's go get stoned)   Now let me tell you one more thing

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

        Gb7           Bbm
        Ain't no harm     to have a little taste
        Gb7                      Db7
        But don't lose your cool     and start messing up the man's place
        Gb7           Bbm
        Ain't no harm     to take a little nip
        Gb7                     Eb7               Ab7
        But don't you fall down     and bust your lip  mmm, no, no

[repeat chorus to fade:]

        3: I think everybody wants to come on and go with me
        4: I'm gonna tell you one more time what I'm gonna do
        5: I think you ought to say it one more time
