C F
In the laid back California town of sunny San Raphael
G F C
Lived a girl named Pearly Sweetcake you probably knew her well

She'd been stoned fifteen of her eighteen years and the story was widely told
G F C
That she could smoke 'em faster than anyone could roll
[Verse 2]
C F
Her legend finally reached New York that Grove Street walk-up flat
G F C
Where dwelt The Calistoga Kid a beatnik from the past
C F
With long browned lightnin' fingers he takes a cultured toke
G F C
And says "Hell I can roll 'em faster, Jim, than any chick can smoke"
[Verse 3]
C F
So a note gets sent to San Raphael for the Championship of the World

The Kid demands a smoke off "Well bring him on! Says Pearl

"I'll grind his fingers off his hands he'll roll until he drops"

Says Calistog "I'll smoke that chick till she blows up and pops"
[Verse 4]
C F
So they rent out Yankee Stadium and the word is quickly spread
G F C
Come one come all who walk or crawl price just two lids a head
C F
So from every town and hamlet over land and sea they speed
G F C
The world's greatest dopers with the Worlds greatest weed
[Verse 5]
C F
Hashishers from Morocco, hemp smokers from Peru

And the Shamnicks from Bagun who puff the deadly Pugaroo
C G C
And those who call it Light of Life and those that call it boo
[Interlude]

[Verse 6]
C F
See the dealers and their ladies wearing turquoise lace and leather
G F C
See the narcos and the closet smokers puffin all together
C F
From the teenies who smoke legal to the ones who've done some time
G F C
To the old man who smoked reefer back before it was a crime
[Verse 7]
C F
And the grand old house that Ruth built is filled with the smoke and cries
G F C
Of fifty thousand screaming heads all stoned out of their minds
C F
And they play the national anthem and the crowd lets out a roar
G F C
As the spotlight hits The Kid and Pearl ready for their smokin' war
[Verse 8]
C F
At a table piled up high with grass as high as a mountain peak
G F C
Just tops and buds of the rarest flowers not one stem, branch or seed
C F
Maui Wowie Panama Red and Acapulco Gold
G F C
Kif from East Afghanistan and rare Alaskan Cold
[Verse 9]
C F
Sticks from Thailand Ganja from the Islands and Bangkok's Bloomin' Best
G F C
And some of that wet imported shit that capsized off Key West
C F
Oaxacan tops and Kenya Bhang and Riviera Fleurs
G F C
And that rare Manhatten Silver that grows down in the New York sewers
[Verse 10]
C F
And there's bubblin' ice cold lemonade and sweet grapes by the bunches
G F C
And there's Hersheys bars and Oreos incase anybody gets the munchies
C F
And the Calistoga Kid he sneers and Pearley she just grins
G C
And the drums roll low and the crowd yells go and the worlds first Smoke Off begins
[Interlude]
C F G F C
[Verse 11]
C F
Kid flicks his magic fingers once and zap that first joints rolled
G F C
Pearl takes one drag with her mighty lungs and woosh that roach is cold
C F
Then The Kid he rolls his Super Bomb that'd paralyze a moose
G F C
And Pearly takes one super hit and slurp that bomb's defused
[Verse 12]
C F
Then he rolls three in just ten seconds and she smokes 'em up in nine
G F C
And everybody sits back and says "this just might take some time"
C F
See the blur of flyin fingers see the red coal burnin bright
G F C
As the night turns into mornin and the mornin fades to night
[Verse 13]
C F
And the autumn turns to summer and a whole damn year is gone
G F C
But the two still sit on that roach-filled stage smokin' and rollin' on
C F
With tremblin hands he rolls his jays with fingers blue and stiff
G C
She coughs and stares with bloodshot gaze and puffs through blistered lips
[Interlude]
C F G F C
[Verse 14]
C F
And as she reaches out her hand for another stick of gold
G F C
The Kid he gasps "Goddamn it, bitch! There's nothin' left to roll!"
C F
"Nothin left to roll?!" screams Pearl, "Is this some twisted joke?
G F C
I didn't come here to fuck around man I come here to smoke"
[Verse 15]
C F
And she reaches cross the table and grabs his bony sleeves
G F C
And she crumbles his body between her hands like dried and brittle leaves
C F
Flickin' out his teeth and bones like useless stems and seeds
G F C
And then she rolls him in a Zig Zag and lights him like a roach
C G C
And the fastest man with the fastest hands goes up in a puff of smoke
[Interlude]
C F G F C
[Verse 16]
C F
In the laid-back California town of sunny San Raphael
G F C
Lives a girl named Pearly Sweetcake you probly know her well
C F
She's been stoned twenty-one of her twenty-four years and the storys widely told
G F C
How she still can smoke 'em faster than anyone can roll
[Verse 17]
C F
While off in New York City on a street that has no name
G F C
There's the hands of the Calistoga Kid in the Viper Hall of Fame
C F
And underneath his fingers there's a little golden scroll
G F C
That says "Beware of Bein' the Roller When There's Nothin' Left to Roll"
[Outro]
