lyrics

[Dope Turtle]
This is hemp seed, be careful how you use it

[Nark Horse]
And we must stand united on this
You can do it by bringing about compulsory education
Because it is only through enlightenment...

[Dope Turtle]
A dense and shady crop, weed...

[Nark Horse]
It exists in almost every city and hamlet in the country

[Dope Turtle]
In the Old Kentucky River Mill at Frankfort, Kentucky...

[Nark Horse]
It might be interesting and important for you to know
Some of the methods used in bringing these drugs into the country

[Dope Turtle]
For to grow hemp legally
You must have a federal registration and tax stamp

[Nark Horse]
The weed marijuana is growing in every state in the union

[Dope Turtle]
In Kentucky hemp harvest comes in August
Here the old standby has been the Self-Rake Reefer
Which has been used for a generation or more

[Nark Horse]
Recently, in the city of Brooklyn, New York
A field of marijuana was found behind a tenement court

[Dope Turtle]
Here's one harvester, at least
That doesn't stall on the heaviest hemp

[Nark Horse]
The weed was here being cultivated, regularly stripped

[Dope Turtle]
The hemp is about ready to be take up and bind into bundles
It is bound by hand, the hemp itself makes a good band

[Nark Horse]
And dried and sold in schools

[Dope Turtle]
Thus hemp, cannabis sativa, is staging a strong comeback

[Nark Horse]
And at government army posts

[Dope Turtle]
Rope for marine rigging and toeing
For hay forks, derricks, and heavy-duty tackle

[Nark Horse]
The sale of marijuana is even more difficult to detect and halt

[Dope Turtle]
For to grow hemp legally
You must have a federal registration and tax stamp

[Nark Horse]
They are hidden in fake jewelry cases
In the heels of shoes

[Dope Turtle]
Thread for shoes for millions of American soldiers

[Nark Horse]
Hollowed shaving brushes are another medium
Books with false centers are often used
Watch cases are convenient hiding places

[Dope Turtle]
Hemp for countless naval uses, both on ship and shore

Victory for hemp
Victory for hemp
Victory for hemp
Victory for hemp
Victory for hemp

Dead as a dodo
