OLD COTTON MOUTH
BY MIRA WILDER

Old cotton mouth cannot speak
 his lips are stuck
to his gums and teeth
been smoking weed,
since he was sixteen
going on 60 it's the same routine

Every morning
Every night
firing it up
to the dawns early light
he knows the diff
tween sativa and kush
oops old cotton mouth
needs to brush

You see that gal
on the street
delighted to see you
but she can't speak
her mouth's is dry
as a Santa Ana wind....
better get that girl
some double mint!
every morning
every night
firing it up
to the dawns early light
she knows the difference
tween Sativa and Kush
oops! old cotton mouth forgot
to brush...

Got a recommendation
from the doc
got a hundred kinds
of chocolate
even soda pop
Do no harm
is what they thinks
better get cotton mouth
something to drink

Old cotton mouth
needs some gum
but she forgot to buy it
cuz her brain is NUMB
every morning every night
firing it up to the dawns early light
she knows the diff
tween sativa and kush...
oops ol' cotten mouth
forgot to brush!
