The Ditty

We used to have this funny little song we would sing back when Nelson Rockefeller was the Governor, and John Lindsay was the Mayor, and it went like this:


marijuana, marijuana, lsd,
Rockefeller makes it, Lindsay takes it, why can't we?

Why can't we?


(We sang it to the tune of Frere Jacques:
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques, / Dormez vous? Dormez vous? / Sonnez les matines, Sonnez les matines / Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong)

Those Hauntingly Nostalgic Tunes of My Chilhood
