lyrics: |
  Saw my second and fourth grade teacher
  In the SDRC line
  We had the same bud-tender
  What a dankery delight

  We drove to Fiesta Island
  And burned one out there laughing
  Like "how the world has changed, man
  Can you pass the lighter?"

  That's how we kick it now in California
  Like it's just a normal store yeah

  I shouldn't get this high every day
  I guess I'll cut back tomorrow
  Oh no no no no no
  And then I wake and bake
  I guess there's always tomorrow
  Oh no no no no no

  My heffalumps and woozles
  My vision never clear
  Come puff and pass my dear
  Don't hold out on ol' Scooby
  This is my brother Doobie
  Black water need to clear
  Roll another one or twoozle
  For the heffalumps and woozles
  The heffalumps and woozles

  Visit my grandma in the retirement home
  She baking magic brownies
  Got me doing puzzles all day long
  Couch-locked watching Jeopardy

  Benny Goodman never sounded this good before
  Got the clarinet flowing
  Yeah grandma be zoning
  This is awesome but bizarre

  I shouldn't get this high every day
  I guess I'll cut back tomorrow
  Oh no no no no no
  And then I wake and bake
  I guess there's always tomorrow
  Oh no no no no no

  My heffalumps and woozles
  My vision never clear
  Come puff and pass my dear
  Don't hold out on ol' Scooby
  This is my brother Doobie
  Black water need to clear
  Roll another one or twoozle
  For the heffalumps and woozles
  The heffalumps and woozles

Track seven on [*Big Hug*](/albums/big-hug/), California legal-weed comedy at full Scoobert myth register. **SDRC** is San Diego Recreational Cannabis, the Mission Valley dispensary where the narrator runs into his second- and fourth-grade teacher in line, *what a dankery delight*. That's the whole bit: *that's how we kick it now in California, like it's just a normal store*. The chorus is the quit-tomorrow loop every smoker knows, *I'll cut back tomorrow* collapsing straight into *wake and bake / I guess there's always tomorrow*.

The hook lifts its title from the *Heffalumps and Woozles* dream sequence in Winnie-the-Pooh and reuses it as a stoner vision, *my vision never clear / come puff and pass my dear*, with the persona's own pun folded into *this is my brother Doobie*. Verse three goes generational: grandma in the retirement home baking magic brownies, couch-locked Jeopardy puzzles, and *Benny Goodman never sounded this good before*, a preview of [*JAZZ FLUTE*](/songs/jazz-flute/) energy years later. *Awesome but bizarre* is the thesis.

Not a cover, just Luke's lyrics with a borrowed reference for a joke. Same *Big Hug* lane as [*I'm an Idiot*](/songs/im-an-idiot/) and [*I Live in California*](/songs/i-live-in-california/): approachable post-pandemic weirdness, not MMM dread.
