I Couldn’t Get High Lyrics by The Fugs

The Fugs First Album With Sizzling Additional Tracks From The Early Fugs

[Verse 1]
I went to a party
The other night
I wanted to fill my brain with light
I grabbed myself a bottle
And I started drinking wine
I thought pretty soon, I'd be feeling fine!
[Chorus]
But I couldn't get high! Oh, No!
I couldn't get high! Oh, No!
[Verse 2]
So I threw down the bottle
And I whipped out my pipe
And I stuffed it full of grass
And I gave myself a light
I huffed, I puffed
I smoked and I toked
But after a while my
Heart was nearly broke!
Because
[Chorus]
I couldn't get high, Oh, No!
I couldn't get high, Oh, No!
[Verse 3]
So I threw down my pipe
As mad as I can be
And I gobbled up a cube of LSD
I waited 30 minutes for my body to sing
I waited and I waited
But I couldn't feel a thing 'cause
[Chorus]
I couldn't get high, Oh, no!
I couldn't get high, Oh, no!
[Outro]
I couldn't get high, Oh, no!
Don't know why, oh, no!
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
Thought I would die
Wanted to cry 'cause I couldn't get high!
(uhh look at that one)
