Reefer Rules
1950s, jingle, Upbeat swing tune, jingling piano, brass section, and lighthearted vocal harmoniesLyrics
**Verse 1:**
*(Cheerful male vocalist)*
Oh, the world is changin', faster than we know,
Folks used to whisper about that "reefer" smoke!
But now it’s all different, it's finally legal,
No more duckin' cops like some sneaky beagle!
**Chorus:**
*(Bright female backup vocals)*
It's reefer, it’s legal, hip-hip-hooray!
Just light it up and brighten your day!
No more worry, no more shame,
But these new rules are hard to explain!
**Verse 2:**
*(Male vocalist with a wink)*
There's dispensaries here, and limits there,
Places you can smoke, places that stare.
But is it OK in the yard? Can I have it with lunch?
Well, read the fine print – it’s all in a bunch!
**Chorus:**
*(Female backup vocals again)*
It’s reefer, it’s legal, we’re feelin' free,
But rules keep changin' so read carefully!
One joint here, but not over there,
It’s all new and tricky but we don’t care!
**Bridge:**
*(Instrumental break: jazzy sax solo with finger snaps and humming in the background)*
**Verse 3:**
*(Male and female duet)*
We’re stayin' groovy, we’re feelin' fine,
No more hiding when we’re unwinding.
So let’s all toast to a new day here,
Just don’t get confused, my dear!
**Outro Chorus:**
*(All vocalists together with a bright finish)*
It's reefer, it’s legal, we’re happy as can be,
Let’s raise a joint to this newfound *lib-er-ty!*
The rules might be wild, but we're still all right,
So let’s light up and swing on through the night!
