TANK OF ALUMINUM

Words: Stephen L. Suffet © 2001
Music: COPPER KETTLE by Albert F. Beddoe

Get you a tank of aluminum,
Aluminum or stainless steel,
Fill it with good plant nutrients,
And the seeds from your latest deal.

And you'll lie there watching videos,
Eating pizza day and night,
As your cannabis keeps a-growing,
In the artificial light.

Buy your supplies with currency,
Never let down your guard,
Don't buy anything on the Internet,
Or pay with a credit card.

And you'll lie there watching videos,
Eating pizza day and night,
As your cannabis keeps a-growing,
In the artificial light.

My daddy brought weed in from Mexico,
But that was way back then,
And maybe in a year or two,
He'll get out of the pen.

And you'll lie there watching videos,
Eating pizza day and night,
As your cannabis keeps a-growing,
In the artificial light.

Get you an aluminium 80,

All shiny, bright, and round
And load it to 2400 P.S.I.,

And let yourself drift down

And you'll sit there among the Kelp stalks
About ten fathoms down
Watch them sheepshead swimming up
And the urchins lie around.

Are you sure that's just oxygen in your tank too Amos?

Does BC stand for Baja California? British Columbia? Boston College? Bronx County? Or is it just a comic strip? Pray tell!

And I thought this was an ode to Micca's missing tankard (the one he lost in the uk get-together) :)

Good stuff though...

Maybe this should have been in the "Weed Songs" thread?

Refresh. This song deserves more exposure. It's just a good time parody. Filk without the filth. :-)
