The Lyrics

You think that I look like a no-good methhead;
you think that by the nose I’m meth-led.

It’s true: I substance-toot, always getting high.
I’m having a ball and I’m feeling spry.
The nasal thing you see’s from coca created.
I look pretty drugged, although not sedated, nah!

Substance-toot—powder, not crack!
I’d never touch that nasty smack.
Take a big snort and my head slams back.
You’ll find I ain’t mute. . .go on a rapping attack.

I don’t cook with a rancid spoon; ain’t by mouth
that I gorge on a pharma feast,
so my nose is heading south.

No, I don’t share. . .operative word: “mine.”
In case you’re Amish, go get thine
own; otherwise, why don’t you go bye-bye.
The perquisites befall those with cache of cash to buy.

Substance-toot—me begin,
substance-toot—I snort it in,
substance-toot: I’m rarely mum—
I need to get some talking done!

When I substance-toot, I am never shy;
I’ve a buccal squall that could blast Cap. Bligh.
The nasal thing you see’s from coca created.
I look pretty drugged. And I’m just elated, yeah!!

Gonna pour me a glass of prune juice. . .dry mouth.
I then gorge this sweet liquid feast
down my gullet, heading south.

No, I don’t share. . .operative word: “mine.”
I admit: I’m a greedy swine. ..
a metaphor! I don’t live in a sty.
I’m perkin’ up from all that blanchèd mass blasting by.

Substance-toot—gee, I’m thin,
substance-toot. . .don’t go for gin,
substance-toot: I’m rarely mum.
Food feast?! There’s rarely noshing done!

I always liked the original melody. You capture the feeling of being drugged quite well. Just a technical thing: the people who used "thee" and "thou" were conservative Quakers (same number of syllables). The Amish spoke German dialects and didn't begin using English until after these forms were no longer in daily use. The Amish still use the German Bible, so they never had the King James Versions "thy' and "thine".
