They were stoned

Went to the house about 4 o clock
She came to the door because she heard me knock
I said hey lane cant you hear a thang
She said naw I thought the telephone rang; im stoned.

Can't you see im stoned?
Been sitting her all alone.
Nothing else to do but get stone. 

The ol' cuckoo clock on the wall had done stopped tickin'
I said hey Lane, that thing needs fixin'
She said naw, he'll be alright
The bird got stoned, he's out like a light

He was stoned. 
You know he had to be stoned. 
Been sitting there all alone. 
Nothing else to do but get stoned. 

We sat there some more and she said hey nook,
Let's join the rest, let's play some rook.
We pushed through the smoke and we went on in
They all had food dripping down their chin
Because they were stoned
I caught the rook with the one 
Because the whole damn bunch was stoned. 
You know they had to be stoned.
Been sitting there all alone.
Nothing else to do but get stoned.

Elaine brought the nuts in coz we all got the munchies 
They were disappearing by the big ol bunches
I dropped one on the floor and reached down to get it, brought my hand back up because Donald went and bit it.
He was stoned. You know he had to be stoned. 
Been sitting there all alone. Nothing else to do but get stoned. 

Ronnie came in and he said let's go.
A big ol' chicken done broke my pole.
I said hey, it aint worth fixin'
He said it was, he was gonna catch that damn chicken. He was drunk. 
You know he had to be drunk.
Anybody catch a chicken by the hunk
You know damn well they were drunk.
