Bush Doctor - Peter Tosh

The Surgeon General warns:

Cigarette smoking is deadly,

and dangerous, and cancerous,

a hazard to your health.

Does that mean nothing to you?

We ought to legallize the marijuana yeah!

(Ooh ooh oo-hooh!)

Down here, inna Jamaica!

Only cure for the poor man

I man ah the minister yeah

And there will be (Oh-ohh!) no more

Smoking and feeling tense

And when I see them ah come

Legalize the marijuana

For humanity

And there will be no more

Illegal humiliation

And then no-no more

And there will be no more

No-no more need to smoke and hide
