 well i thought that i knew mary, the mother of the babe
 but the saviour learnt his lessons, from wise old mary jane
 all those miracles he did, and all those parables he told
 were inspired by the ganja that he regularly rolled

  if you keep on puffing then it all turns out  al-right. I heard

>(verse two)<
Jesus on the corner, talking to some cops
only dooby-loving jesus gets the law enforcement crossed
if you travel down to venice and your're cruising right along
i guarantee you’ll see him, the saviour and his bong

and on sunday he is preaching, a blunts good for the soul
THC for all, for there is freedom in the bowl
if you need white-robe jesus, he’s somewhere in LA
growing marijuana, and burning til he’s blazed

>(prechorus)<
the night i smoked with jesus I saw heaven way up close,
I saw grandma in her nightie, faded with the holy ghost
I saw David and Goliath, and man were they both stoned
I saw all of the apostles in a cloud of righteous smoke

>(chorus)<
I said hey, is this what you meant you by saved?
You get so high it’s spiritual and you kind of float away,
I said hey, will I see you when I die?
he said if you keep on puffing then it all turns put alright
so ill just keep on puffing, hope it all turns out alright.
