Let's go get stoned

Joe Cocker · Mad Dogs & Englishmen [1970]

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

When your baby won't let you in

Got a few pennies, a bottle of gin

Just call your buddy on the telephone

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

When you work so hard all the day long

And everything you do seems to go wrong

Just drop by my place on your way home

Let's go get stoned

It ain't no harm

You're takin just a taste

But don't blow your cool

and start messing up the place

It ain't no harm you're faking just a nip

But make sure you don't fall down bust your lip

Let's go get stoned

Let's go get stoned

Let's Go Get Stoned

Featured on the album *Mad Dogs & Englishmen*, the track captures the restless energy of the era, blending folk-rock sensibilities with Cocker's distinctive, gravelly voice. The song reflects the countercultural spirit of the early 1970s, exploring themes of escapism and camaraderie through a gritty, authentic performance that became a staple of his discography. Its enduring appeal lies in Cocker's ability to convey deep emotion and social commentary, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in rock history.
