An anagram of
“The Delta Sweete” (Bobbie Gentry)
- - - - - -
Let's Eat The Weed

Well, yeah, the title challenged us to do a bit of a drug song, so please note Claudia’s vocal reference to Grace Slick’s performance on Jefferson Airplane’s seminal 60s LSD operetta “White Rabbit” - laughably pompuous yet indubitably from those times “when the music mattered”

lyrics

03. Let’s Eat the Weed

Brown stuff
Cream puff
Sweet love
Dandruff

Nobody knows how double I’ve seen
Nobody’s nose smells cheeses
Nobody knows how double I’ve seen
I put the broom in my mind machine

Let’s eat the weed
Let’s eat the weed
(If I was your river)
Let’s eat the weed
Meat gets to bleed

(ranting intermezzo:)
My body is a temple where the merchants roam
They get into their little cars and then drive home
They make a little dinner that is made of me
That is what they call “lif’s inner quality”
Ring! Goes the doorbell
In comes the cheese smell
Where from they can’t tell
Then they go to pig hell
Up the belly of the beast they try to reach
So they grab the weed that we eat to teach
