The Lyrics

Customer satisfaction is an integral part of any business, even the slightly shady, likely illegal ones...
Say, say, say, hey, hey now, buddy
Got things to explain now, buddy
Say, say, say, hey, hey now, buddy
The details must be straight now, buddy
Tell me, tell me if these drugs are a crock, drugs are a crock, drugs are a crock
I gotta know the truth, are you scummy or not, scummy or not, scummy or not?
You gotta tell me if you sold me some pot, sold me some pot, sold me some pot
And that'd be cool if I wanted that lot, wanted that lot, wanted that lot

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, been needin' a boost
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, I'm stressin' to you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh (haha)

Say, say, say, hey, hey now, buddy
Popped a couple and I've only laid down, buddy (oh-oh-oh-oh), oh
Say, say, say, hey, hey now, buddy
You're meant to give speed to my brain now, buddy (oh, oh-oh)
Lemme, lemme check the label I've got, label I've got, label I've got (na-na-na)
The fault could be with you, man, or maybe it's not, maybe it's not, maybe it's not (na-na)
Yep, I see nothin' on here sayin' it's pot, sayin' it's pot, sayin' it's pot (oh yeah-ee)
Therefore you've botched it, must repay me a lot, pay me a lot, pay me a lot (uh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, not my order, dude
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, got it wrong, that's rude (biffed it)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh

Hey yeah, what uppers do
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh (mmm-mmm), what uppers do
Mmm, na-na-na (oh), hey yeah, what uppers do
Mmm (oh), na-na-na, oh-oh-oh-oh, mmm, yeah

May sound a little strange, normally this tone's only found
In a public place from all those manager-beggars
But I have earned my ragin' because my energy is down, yeah
Ooh, planned for an all-night bender, buddy, not go to sleep forever
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, don't skimp on me, dude
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, I feel ripped off, true
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, had some work to do (do, oh yeah-eah-ooh-whoa)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (ooh), these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh (these don't do what uppers do)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, needed such a boost (needed such an punch)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh (do, ah-ah-ah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, now I'm 'bout to snooze (these won't do)
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, these don't do what uppers do, ooh-ooh

It's like getting decaf when you didn't ask for it, just with more jail time.
