Now this is a story about my girlfriend Mary Jane.
You ready mini-me? Okay.

Hello Mary Jane,
I can't get you off my brain,
Take me higher than a crane,
You're so sweet like sugar cane.
(I'll keep on flying)

Make me fly like Air Jamaica,
You make me sing like I need to bake a
Come with me cause I need to bake ya

(Mary Jane)

Mary, Mary quite contrary,
Girl you must be my fairy,
You give me wings like a canary,
I'll shout so people can hear me

(Mary Jane, I love you dearly)

I always want you near me.
You make me see clearly like Jimmy Spliff, I mean Jimmy Cliff.

Mary Jane I love you so, I will never let you go.
Mary Jane I need you so, I will never let you go.
Mary Jane I love you so, I will never let you go.
Mary Jane I need you so

Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.

Hello Mary Jane,
I can't get you off my brain,
Take me higher than a crane,
You're so sweet like sugar cane.

(I'll keep on flying)

Make me fly like Air Jamaica,
You make me sing like I need to bake a
Come with me cause I need to bake ya

(Mary Jane)

Mary, Mary quite contrary,
Girl you must be my fairy,
You give me wings like a canary,
I'll shout so people can hear me

Roll it, twist it, spark it up.

Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.

My boyfriend's name is Jay,
Every day we spark a brain,
Yes I am the queen of sheeba,
Mary Jane, every night I meet her

In the club it's super her,
Johnny plays 'Good morning Sir',
I feel nice but don't get gassed,
Kid, don't you know about the BomBom pest?

(Yeah, Mr. Tambourine Man)

Legalize like Amsterdam,
I'm his time so yes he loves me
Even when I've got the munchies.
Mine is good, he might come quick,
So I suck his vooda stick.

Roll it, twist it, spark it up




Roll it, twist it, spark it up
Roll it, twist it, spark it up.
