Reefer Madness Musical Soundtrack Lyrics
Reefer Madness!
Lecturer:
Creeping like a communist, it's knocking at our doors
Turning all our children into hooligans and whores
Voraciously devouring the way things are today
Savagely deflowering the good ol' U.S.A.
It's Reefer Madness, Reefer Madness
(Reefer Madness, Reefer Madness)
Oh so mad!
See the kids! Precious kids!
Yes, their heads are on the chopping block
and someone's got to dare to take a stand
Can't ignore any more, it could be your son or daughter
With a deadly stick of reefer in their hand!
They're heading straight for
Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness!
Save our kids!
Stealthy as a socialist, it slithers up our shores
Turning all our children into hooligans and whores!
This smoking bowl of evil bears the choking stench of sin!
It burrows like a weevil under tender Christian skin!
This...
Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness!
Oh so mad!
Pull the wool from your eyes!
We're in need of righteous soliders
for this merry wonder has to be destroyed!
Fight the urge of this scourge! It's destructive but seductive!
So some drastic measures need to be employed!
To put and end to...
Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness!
Oh so mad!
Deadly as the Democrats that empty out our stores!
Turning all our children into hooligans and whores!
Teenagers across the land are glazed and oversexed
If you fail to draw the line, your babies will be next!
Oh! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness! Reefer Madness!
Oh so mad!
Tell your children! (Reefer Madness)
Fight the menace! (Reefer Madness)
Kill the Devil! (Reefer Madness)
Save the country! (Reefer Madness)
Madness! Madness! Madness! Madness! Reefer's made us crazy barking...
Mad!

Romeo & Juliet
Jimmy:
I need words to tell you 'bout my pounding heart
Four dollar words thaht make a guy sound smart
Oh, I guess that's why they invented Shakespeare!
His articulations of a lover's palpitations are so keen!
My bounty is as boundless as the sea!
My love as deep the more I give to thee!
Mary:
Oh, you sound so dreamy when you talk like Shakespeare!
Both:
A big vocabulary should be customary when you fall in love!
Jimmy:
La la la la la la, you're a snowy dove!
Mary:
La la la, prodigious birth of love!
Both:
La la la la la, hip hooray for Shakespeare!
Sure as I am breathing, you sure make Elizabethan language fun!
We are just like Romeo and Juliet
We're happy, young and bubbling with love!
Jimmy:
I can't wait to read the ending!
Mary:
I can't either! But I'm sure it turns out real swell
I bet Romeo marries his Juliet
Jimmy:
They have a baby
Mary:
And make lots of friends!
Both:
That's prob'ly the way the play ends!
Mary:
You doth teach the torches how to burn real bright
Jimmy:
Hanging like a jewel upon the cheek of night!
Both:
Hark! What light through yonder window breaks here
We'll be future spouses
Put a plague on both our houses if we're wrong!
Shakespeare!

The Stuff
Mae:
I ought to leave him, but something makes me stay
It's the stuff
I'd try to kill him, but my guy gives me love
And the stuff!
Sometimes he's rough
He throws me down the stairs, but deep inside he cares
He buys me lingerie, and the stuff!
I was a student, good grades and so naive
'Til the stuff
A handsome stranger, some empty promises
Lotsa stuff!
But I don't get hooked
I'm not addicted, no
I just enjoy the glow
I like to have my fun
No harm to anyone
Though the fun sometimes escapes me
when Jack gets stoned and rapes me...
Nothing numbs me better than the stuff!

Down at the Ol Five and Dime
All:
After school is let out we just like to get out
To the place where jitterbug is always in style
Satchmo is a-singin', Dorsey is a-swingin'
A syncopated wonderland that brings on a smile
Come and stretch your dance abilities
Nobody is feelin' ill at ease
When your toes are tappin' anything can happen
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!
Dancin'! Dancin'!
Razmatazz that always has you sashayin'
Swayin'
Buy your gal some jujubees
She'll be swoonin', spoonin'
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!
Mr. Poppy:
Hey! My name is Mr. Poppy
In my little shop, we make the finest cherry fizz in all of the land
Service with a smile, makin' quite a pile
Even have a little left to pay for a band
(Short musical break)
All:
You can buy yourself a pack of smokes
Mr. Poppy:
Laugh at Mr. Poppy's knock knock jokes
All:
Ho! Gotta take the gang out to the local hangout
Where Benny Goodman is king!
(dialogue, dance break)
Dancin'! Dancin'!
Mr. Poppy:
Then enjoy some funny books
All:
We get frisky, risky
Mr. Poppy:
Cool off with a malted milk
All:
We're all boppin', come drop in
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!
Mr. Poppy:
Sometimes men would come to call
who stank of sin and Barbasol
They'd ask kids if they felt at all like
having themselves a few kicks!
(dialogue, swing music break)
All:
Feel the crazy rhythm in your feet
Everybody keep in reet petite
Blazing bright as neon, maybe we could be on
Major Bowes' amateur hour!
(dialogue)
Dancin'! Dancin'!
Charleston till our tootsies ache
We'll be slidin', glidin'
Rompin' to the Savoy Stomp
We're rug cuttin', struttin'
Then as a coda, we drink ice cream soda
Here down at the ol' Five and Dime! Yeah!

The Orgy
Sally:
Smoke the marijuana
Sail the sea of sin
Reach a hot nirvana
Tremble from within
All:
Serve your appetite! Plan to stay the night!
Jimmy:
I am standing at temptation's door
I have never felt this way before!
All:
Join the wonder dance! Lose the underpants!
Jimmy:
Someone save me! There's no place to hide
From this salacious magic carpet ride!
All:
Jimmy, don't be scared
Come and stir the pot!
The meal that we've prepared is hot! Hot! Hot!
Let our legion of lust come demolish your fear!
We attack from the front and engage from the rear!
Bring a tube of flavored lube, it's orgy time!
Goat Man:
Lovely ladies, fresh as morning dew
Sweet as Sodom, we're expe-e-ecting you!
All:
Live the greater life! Give the satyr life!
Sally, Jimmy:
Eros beckons, feel the need increase
Ev'ry fiber burns for sweet release!
All:
Live a little dream! Leave a little mess!
Ev'rybody scream: Yes! Yes! Yes!
Can't you feel the flush of pusling pagan fire
Come and feel the rush
Fly higher and higher
Goat Man:
Dancing naked as the sinful Adam
All:
Voodoo jungle drums!
Sally, Jimmy:
Coupled with a wicked madam till the morning comes!
All:
Yes we're waiting for your business in this carnal carnivale
Take a one way ticket ot the bacchanal
So come on, Jimmy, come on, gimme reefer love!
(dance/orgy break)

Lonely Pew
Mary:
The service today was really exciting!
Yahweh was mad, and did plenty of smiting!
With locusts and plagues, and little green froggies
All that and more thundered down from the sky
I reached for your hand like I always do
But beside me was just an empty wooden pew
There's hymnals and a rosary
But they don't keep me company
The wafers now don't taste so great
They won't transubstantiate
Without you near the gospel choir sounds askew
Jimmy, come back and fill my lonely pew!
A gloomy church that you're not in can lead a girl to mortal sin!
A lady asked: "Is this seat taken?"
I lied, I guess! I told her, "Yes!"
I pray a holy shining star will lead you home from where you are
In a fog or lost at sea...or could it be you're tired of me?
It's a line of thought I'd rather not pursue!
Jimmy, come back and fill my lonely pew!

Listen to Jesus Jimmy
Jesus:
You didn't
(Listen to Jesus, Jimmy) It's too late for absolution
(Listen to Jesus, Jimmy) I'm just here to watch the execution
(Shoulda listened to Jesus, Jimmy) Guess you thought that I was joking
(Remember Jesus, Jimmy) When your scalp is charred and smoking
Jimmy:
Jesus (Jesus)
If you save me (Gotta save him, Jesus)
I will heed the words you gave me (Go, go, go, gotta save him)
Jesus:
Sorry, your soul is bound for Hell!
Hell, Hell, Hell!
I'm talkin' 'bout your one-way ticket to Hell!
Angels:
Oh yeah!

Dead Old Man
Jimmy:
There's a story for each wrinkle on your face
There's a dream for ev'ry blessed liver spot
Maybe you fought in the great Civil War
Perhaps you once shook Abraham Lincoln's hand
Who knows?
You're dead, old man
You're dead, old man
Dead old man!
Did a sweetheart used to kiss this weathered skin?
Did these brittle fingers gently stroke her cheek?
Never again will these lips know a smile
This knee you bounced your children upon is drenched with red
You're dead, old man
You're dead, old man
Dead old man!
The wisdom that shone in your aged eyes
I snuffed it out!
Blinded by speed and the reefer smoke
I puffed it out! And in! And out!
And out and in and in and out and out and in and out
Until nothing seemed important anymore!
Not even your sweet life, old man!
Left knackered by a Packard
You bled till dead, old man
Poor dead old man
Dead old man!

Act One Finale
Mary:
To my poor lost Romeo wandering in the night
Your Juliet will find you and make things alright
Though my tears are forming great big salty lakes here
We'll find our long lost laughter and live happily ever after
Like the play!
Hang on, I'm on my way!
I'm on my way!
Lecturer:
So Mary drove off and bravely swore
To rescue Jimmy from the devil's door
But before this deadly night was done
Their love would be shattered by a loaded gun!
Jack:
His trouble's just gotten bigger!
I got my hand on the trigger!
And if it comes down to him or me,
I'll pull it! One bullet!
That's all it's gonna take to blow him away!
I'm gonna blow that kid away!
(Mary and Jack sing their previous verses in tandem during the following)
Jimmy:
(Look out, Jimmy!) I am depraved!
(Look out, Mary!) I am enslaved!
(Reefer madness hungers to destroy you!)
Keep runnin'! Keep runnin'!
What will become of her if I choose to stay?
(It will burn your life away!) I've got to run away!
Lecturer:
It all began with a reefer bud!
It ends with buckets of human blood!
Mary:
I'm on my way!
Jimmy:
I'll run away!
Jack:
Blow him away!
Lecturer, All:
Someone must pay!

Madness! Bop! Ba-dop!
Bop! Bop! Bop! Oo-ee-ah!
Mary:
Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?

Gotta run, gotta hide,
Oh the shame, oh the shame
There's an old man in the gutter
who's been spilled like melted butter
And I, Jimmy Harper, am to blame!
Mary:
Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?
Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?
Jimmy:
Think of Mom, think of Pop, and my sweet Juliet!
If I stay I'll only shame them
The authorities will blame them
Out of town's the place I gotta get!
Mae, Sally, Ralph:
Jimmy's off on the lam
where nobody can find him!
Mary:
Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?
Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?

The Brownie Song
Jimmy:
This brownie is yummy!
It's the greatest brownie known to man!
It's chewy! It's nutty!
This brownie's really good!
Don't offer me a macaroon
My brownie suits me fine!
There's frosting on the top,
and best of all, it's mine!
All:
Eat the brownie! Eat the brownie!
Eat the brownie! Eat the brownie!
Jack:
Let's go home!
Jimmy:
Okay!
I shimmer, electric!
I'm a one-man marching brownie band!
I love it, my brownie!
And my brownie loves me too
It's smooth, it's sweet, it's choc'latey!
It forms a perfect square
And the bestest part of all is I don't have to share!
All:
Doesn't have to share!
Jimmy:
The bestest part of all is I don't have to share!
All:
Eat the brownie! Eat the brownie!
Eat the brownie! Eat the brownie!
Yeah!

Five and Dime Reprise
Lecturer:
Kindly Mister Poppy, owner of the shop, he
Led a secret double life of floozies and gin!
I would make a bundle helping Jack to trundle
Little children off to pay the wages of sin!
Well, you never know what evil really lurks
In the hearts of friendly soda jerks!
I'll lead your kids to ruin
'Cuz nasty things are brewin'
Down at the ol' Five and Dime!

Little Mary Sunshine
Ralph:
Little Mary Sunshine with her hem cut so low
Little Mary Sunshine with her ducks in a row
Little Mary Sunshine needs a change in her life
Little Mary Sunshine needs a man
Now come on, Mary Sunshine
It's time that you learned to be bad!
You make a charming armful
So snuggle up, my buttercup, 'cuz you been had
Oh, smoke it, Mary Sunshine
Dissolve in the sweet burning glow
Come lose yourself in pleasure
When the bambalacha's gotcha you'll forget the word "No"
Jimmy's a rube, provincial and dull
Don't be tricked, he's strictly quadrilateral!
Mary:
Jimmy's a boy, I'm ready for men
Let's go up and down and up and down and down again!
I feel a little naughty!
Ralph:
Baby, I'll help you relax!
Mary:
I'll tie you up with phone cord
We'll play with whips and nipple clips and candle wax!
Ralph:
Now hold on, Mary Sunshine
Let's not get carried away!
Mary:
Just call me Mary "Wanna"
And Mary's got some scary little games to play!
I'll lather you up and give you a shave
A paddling while straddling my little slave!
Down on your knees! It's pointless to fight!
Save your strength, it's gonna be a lengthy night!
Ralph, Mary:
Goodbye to Mary Sunshine!
Reefer has blown out her mind!
She's now a hot-hay hussy!
Mary:
Don't you run! I'm not done!
Can't you tell we've just begun?!
What's your rush? You're not having fun?!
Ralph:
No, I'm really not!
Both:
Mary, Mary Sunshine
Burns for, yearns for dirty love!

Marys Death
Mary:
We are just like Romeo and Juliet
We're happy, young and...hemorrhaging blood
Did you get to read the ending?
Was it perfect?
Did they love until they got old?
Jimmy:
"It was beautiful. They grew up and everybody they knew came to the wedding."
Mary:
"Did they have babies?"
Jimmy:
"Yeah. Six of them."
Mary:
"That's good. I love babies."
Both:
It makes me happy knowin'
That we loved like Romeo an'...
Jimmy:

Ralph:
"I'm just a little hungry, that's all."
Mary:
Remember me, Ralph?

Ralph:
Murdered you?
Jimmy:
Murdered me!

Ralph:
"The icebox. That's good. That's good."
Zombies:
Open the gate and abandon hope
With the ghosts of the kids that got hooked on dope

They are saving us a spot
Rats (puppets popping up from a trap door):
You murdered them, Ralph!

Jack:
"You. Stay here. Keep him piped down."
Sally:
"Jack? I don't like the way he's lookin' at me. Shake a leg with that grub."
Ralph:
"Leg...grub..."
Mae:
"Ralph, we have take-away from Dim-Foo's... Ralph? Sally? Where'd they go?"
Jack:
"They best not have skipped town."
Mae:
"Sally? Ralph?"
Ralph:
I found me a snack, it was nice and fresh
Mae, Jack:
The weed made him hungry for human flesh
Jack:
Step away, you mug
'Cuz that's a brand new Persian rug
Mae:
He's not gonna stop!
All:
Murder him! Murder him!
Murder him! Murder him!
Mae:
"Oh God, oh God, oh God..."
Jack:
"Mae! Don't get queer on me now."
Zombies:
Open the gate and abandon hope
With the ghosts of the kids that got hooked on dope
Mae:
Now I see them, Jack!
And they all want their childhoods back!
We murdered them, Jack!
All:
Murdered them! Murdered them!
Murdered them! Murdered them!
Zombies:
Open the gate and abandon hope
Jack:
Pull it together
Don't flip your skirt
Zombies:
With the ghosts of the kids that got hooked on dope
(The last lines are all sung in tandem)
Jack:
Don't flip your skirt
You do the things you gotta do
In this dog eat dog eat dog world
Survival of the fittest
So you murder 'em
Before they murder you
The winner is the last one left alive!
Alive!
Mae:
Now I see them, Jack
And they all want their childhoods back!
We murdered them, Jack!
Mae, Zombies:

Rolled up and burnt away
With the stuff
Well, it's gotta stop
"Let go of me!"

"Help!"
Mae:

Your corpus is delecti
And I have been delivered from the stuff!

Tell Em the Truth
Mae:
The tragic victim of drug abuse
Has now been spared for a higher use
Jimmy:
They were ready to cook my goose
But God had other plans
FDR:
"He works in mysterious ways, Jimmy."
Jimmy:
I feel like something inside has stirred
At long, long last may the truth be heard
FDR:
Go forth, Jimmy, and spread the word
FDR, Jimmy:
From sea to shining sea
Mae:
You have been set free
Jimmy:
Free to tell
FDR, Jimmy, Mae:
The truth about the wisdom we have learned...
All:
Gonna tell 'em the truth, truth, truth
Ev'rybody gotta know, oh, oh
All about the demon weed
How it grows from a demon seed
FDR:
"Indeed!"
Jimmy:
That pungent smoke will rot your brain
Till you're incurably insane
Trust me to tell them the...
All:
Gonna tell 'em the truth, truth, truth
Ev'rybody gotta know, oh, oh
With voices raised in song
We're banishing the bong!
FDR:
"So long!"
All:
Our children teeter on the brink
We need to teach them what to think
Trust us to tell them the truth
We've got to capture the nation's ear
Spread the word 'cross the hemisphere
But there are only four people here
Jimmy:
And one of us is lame!
FDR:
"Not to worry, Jimmy!"
We'll use the papers of Mr. Hearst
Flood the airwaves until they burst
With catchy slogans we've all rehearsed
All:
And iconography!
Uncle Sam:
It's Uncle Sam...
George Washington:
George Washington...
Statue of Liberty:
And Lady Liberty!
All:
Gonna tell 'em the truth, truth, truth
Ev'rybody gotta know, oh, oh
Uncle Sam, George W., Liberty:
Just who to demonize
What politics to despise
FDR:
"Get wise!"
All:
We're taking down the fingerprints of
Jazz musicians and immigrants
Trust us to tell you (Gonna tell 'em)
The truth, truth, truth
Ev'rybody gotta know, oh, oh
The A-B-C's of spin
And turning your neighbors in
FDR:
"Or kin!"
All:
It's all comes down to apple pie
George Washington:
George Washington would never lie
All:
Trust us to tell you (Gonna tell 'em)
The truth, truth, truth
Ev'rybody gotta know, oh, oh
Let ev'ry sir an ma'am
Obey their Uncle Sam
FDR:
"Hot damn!"
All:
That famous finger's set to point:
Uncle Sam:
I want you to drop that joint!
(The following is sung in tandem)
All:
Trust us to tell you (Gonna tell 'em)
The truth, truth, truth
Truth, truth, truth, etc.
Trust us to tell 'em the truth!
Statue of Liberty:
Give me your tired
Give me your poor
Give me your huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free
of reefer smoke!
Freedom! Freedom!
Freedom!
Lecturer:
It's time for parents to take a stand
For the preservation of our sweet land
All:
Till the things that scare us are burned or banned
Or smashed to smithereens!
And once the reefer has been destroyed
We'll start on Darwin and Sigmund Freud
And sex depicted on celluloid
And communists and queens
When danger's near, exploit their fear
The end will justify the means!
