Lyrics

[Intro]
[bright acoustic piano, upbeat drum kit, walking bass]
[audience laughter and applause]

[Chorus]
[baritone male vocals]
She called me a mañana man
She said I would rather put off today what I won't do tomorrow
Oh!
[piano glissando]
I said oh no I'm not a mañana man
I'm a marijuana man
Now that it's legal I can just sit here and say
Please pass me the pipe
[male backing vocals join]
Please pass me the pipe

[Verse 1]
[piano continues with rhythmic block chords]
She said there was a rocky road ahead
I said I prefer pralines and cream
She said stop kidding around don't you know what's at stake
I said I like my steak medium rare if you know what I mean

[Chorus]
[full band, handclaps on backbeat]
When you see it all before you don't have to panic now
'Cause there's all these caveats but it always has the outcome the same
You can flip a coin you can toss a dice you can throw the I Ching it really doesn't matter
'Cause the outcome's always the same
Ah, so pass me the pipe, babe
There's no factual consequences that will show up don't worry
They're always the same
Look, did he really say that?
[instrumental break with piano and drums]

[Chorus Reprise]
[tempo remains steady, piano-led]
She called me a mañana man
She said I would rather put off today what I won't do tomorrow
Oh!
I said oh no I'm not a mañana man
I'm a marijuana man
Now that it's legal I can just sit here and say
Please pass me the pipe
Please pass me the pipe

[Outro]
[rhythmic stops on piano and drums]
Oh, pass me the bong, babe
Oh, I want to vacate
I think that we could have some pre-rolls, some packages, some gummies, some hashish
Oh, I forgot
I am the marijuana man
[final piano chord, audience applause]
