EWell you asked was I F#mholding
I said C#mno I’m not Aholding
I F#mthought you was hoBlding, it’s Etrue
EBut here I’m not F#mholding
And C#msince you’re not Aholding
My F#mdear, what on BEarth will we Edo
…do do do…
Now you know when I’m holding
There’s no need you holding
And you know the same about me
And if you run out
Before I run out
You can always get some from me
…do do do…
Now if you ain’t got none
And if I ain’t got none
We can go find some other head
Find out if they’re holding
Get down and start rolling
And smoke what they’re holding instead
