Well he went to the hop house the other night
Wearin his goulashes, boy, they were shinin bright
Well he called to the boy said bring him some hop
Started in a smokin like he'd never stop
Verse
Oh well after he had smoked about a dozen pills
He says, "This oughta cure all my aches and ills"
Well he turned on his side and he went to sleep
Dreamed he was a sailor on the ocean deep
Verse
Oh well he played draw poker as they left the land
He won a million dollars on his very first hand
Well he played and he played until the crew went broke
Then he turned around and had another smoke

He rubbed his eyes and said, "I wonder where I am."
He played craps with the king, he won a million more
Had to leave the island cause the king got sore

Oh well then he thought he better be a-sailing for home
Well he charted a ship and he sailed away alone
Oh well this ship hit a rock, he hit the floor
Oh well the dope gave out and the dream was o'er

Now Willie the Weeper was young pox eater
Some day a pill too many he'll take
And dreaming that he's dead he will forget to wake
