The Lyrics
"Doctor Leary" refers to the famous (or infamous) 1960's LSD advocate, former Harvard psychologist Timothy Leary. "Mescalito", according to native tradition, is the nature spirit of the hallucinogenic peyote cactus (which is where mescaline comes from).
This day and age we're living in,
Gives cause for medication,
No need for meditation,
Or things like education...
When we get a trifle weary,
We think of Doctor Leary,
And we just get off the earth at times...
Relax, relieve the tension,
And no matter what your distress,
Or what may yet be proved...
The daily stress of life, by some,
Is chemically removed......
You can't remember sh*t
Your wit is just a zit
You're high, and that is why...
You blunder mentally and sigh,
As mind goes "bye"...
Pey-o-te you will chew,
Until it makes you spew,
On that, you can rely...
You watch as Mescalito bids
Your mind good-bye...
Grateful Dead drug songs,
Tracer-trails in waves...
Bongs full of resin,
Ecstasy at raves...
Shrooms in your hand,
The munchies and the craves...
...Why get a job, oh why?
(Well) It's still the same old drama,
You smoke your marijuana,
And shade your bloodshot eyes...
The world will always baffle burnouts
As minds go "bye"...
Oh yes, the world will always baffle burnouts
As minds go "bye"...
Gives cause for medication,
No need for meditation,
Or things like education...
When we get a trifle weary,
We think of Doctor Leary,
And we just get off the earth at times...
Relax, relieve the tension,
And no matter what your distress,
Or what may yet be proved...
The daily stress of life, by some,
Is chemically removed......
You can't remember sh*t
Your wit is just a zit
You're high, and that is why...
You blunder mentally and sigh,
As mind goes "bye"...
Pey-o-te you will chew,
Until it makes you spew,
On that, you can rely...
You watch as Mescalito bids
Your mind good-bye...
Grateful Dead drug songs,
Tracer-trails in waves...
Bongs full of resin,
Ecstasy at raves...
Shrooms in your hand,
The munchies and the craves...
...Why get a job, oh why?
(Well) It's still the same old drama,
You smoke your marijuana,
And shade your bloodshot eyes...
The world will always baffle burnouts
As minds go "bye"...
Oh yes, the world will always baffle burnouts
As minds go "bye"...

peyote is the most fun i've ever had throwing up
Thanks Jack, Kristof, and Alvin.
This is great! I was trying to find a recording of this tune so I can learn it for a gig. I am one of the performers in an all-ukulele show in Somerville--not too far from you! I'd love to sing these lyrics--if you get this message, please email me! I'll get you in to the show for free--it's a great evening that'll blow your mind. Forget your preconceptions of the ukulele!
