Weird Al 2.0 Rising

  As you've probably been able to guess by now, I have a hobby of spoofing songs--both popular and obscure--just like Weird Al Yankovic, and sometimes the Weird Al in me just has to come out, or I'll bust. Well, this is one of those times.
  I watch World's Dumbest quite a bit, and among the D-listers and burnouts who comment there is a certain Leif Garrett, who is famous for...well, I guess getting arrested at a subway station with heroin in his shoe, stoned out of his freaking mind. So that inspired me to write this--the idea came to me while listening to Sunday at the Seventies last weekend or so on 98.1 WOGL. So, here ya go.

ONE TOKE OVER THE LINE (LEIF GARRETT'S)
Based on "One Toke Over the Line"
by Brewer and Shipley

One toke over the line Leif Garrett's
One toke over the line
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line

Awaitin' for the train that goes home, or somethin'
No ticket for that train or sense of time
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line

Whaaaat is he on, you know it's white lady
He's been dopin', as you can plainly see
  He felt the joy and he'll learn about the pain that the cops said
  Because he's chosen to make smack a part of him, surely strike him dead
Now he's one toke over the line Leif Garrett's
One toke over the line
Busted downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
No ticket for the train and he ain't goin' home Leif Garrett's
Ain't got no sense of time
Busted downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line

  He went away for a little while,
Now he's returnin' with a drugged-up smile
He comments on dumb videos and gave himself a few
And to his surprise like everything else he's been through
It opened up his eyes but still he's
One toke over the line Leif Garrett's
One toke over the line
Busted downtown in a subway station
Don't you just know he's got no ticket for the train and he ain't goin' home Leif Garrett's
Ain't got no sense of time
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line

Don't you just know he's got no ticket for the train and he ain't goin' home Leif Garrett's
Ain't got no sense of time
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line

You know he's got to be
One toke over the line Leif Garrett's
One toke over the line
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line
Don't you just know he's got no ticket for the train and he ain't goin' home Leif Garrett's
Ain't got no sense of time
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over the line
Busted downtown in a subway station
One toke over line
One toke, one toke over the line
