I Got Stoned And I Missed It
By Shel Silverstein
Written for Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show

I was sitting in my basement I just rolled myself a taste
Then my friend yelled through the transom "Grab your coat and get your hat son
Of something green and gold and glorious to get me through the day

There's a nut down on the corner, givin' dollar bills away"
Then I had another hit
But I laid around a bit
Then I thought about my mama
Then I rolled myself a bauma
Then I fooled around, played around

Jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and it rolled right by
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned and I missed it
I got stoned oh me oh my

With the sweet face up to my place to fool around a bit
Now it took seven months of urging just to get that local virgin
Next day she woke up rosy and she snuggled up so cosy

When she asked me how I liked it Lord it hurt me to admit
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by
I was stoned oh me oh my

Just to sweeten my relationships and brighten up my day
Now I ain't makin' no excuses for the many things I uses
But when my earthly race is over and I'm ready for the clover
I was stoned and I missed it

And they ask me how my life has been I guess I'll have to say
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and I missed it
I was stoned and it rolled right by

I was stoned oh me oh my
