Cannabis Cantata Part 2

In this scene, Stephen arrives and, as Lieschen from BWV211, sings of the wonders of cannabis. Lisa gets bored and does some work.
Lyrics:
Lisa: who is it? Speak of the Red eyed devil.

Stephen: Lisa! don't be so hard on me i just woke up at a quarter to three.

Lisa: oh did you over hear my soliloquy? eh? did you?

Stephen: what do you think i'm def? the whole building can hear you freakin' out.

Lisa: i don't care!

Stephen: I finished this painting.

Lisa: i don't care!

Stephen: Well I think it's so nice!

Lisa: Nice won't make you the kind of money you need to live!

Stephen: whoa! chill out! you'll go to an early grave you're wound up so tight. too tight!
you've got to learn to see the world in a different light.
now, when was the last time you had a good laugh?
i mean seriously.
I certainly didn't until I found my path oh yes I found my path.

Lisa: your path? your path? oh! you mean the couch?

Stephen: Oh daughter

let me tell you why I'm still do in alright
i'm still all right
it has to do with that very fine bliss
the day that rasta man introduced me to cannabis yes he introduced me to cannabis
