D-O-A-P (The Dope Song)


A junkie and his dealer met in the alleyway
And as I chanced to pass on by,
I heard that junkie say:

"Give me some D-O-A-P dope,
Don't make it S-O-A-P soap,
Because I really couldn't cope
Without my D-O-A-P dope,
So tell the P-O-A-P Pope
He mustn't sit around and mope,
For I might as well be hanging from an R-O-A-P rope
If I'm without my D-O-A-P dope.

(INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE AND MONOLOGUE)

"Please, Mr. Dealer Man, I've waited so long---bring my little doapie back to me---
my hands are shaking, my legs are shaking, I'm down on my knees. Please, my friend,
don't you know I'm no good without it? So send a little sunshine my way before I go
off the roof and put an end to it all---I'm just no good without my D-O-A-P dope!

So tell the P-O-A-P Pope
He mustn't sit around and mope,
For I might as well be hanging from an R-O-A-P rope
If I'm without my D-O-A-P dope, yes sir,
If I'm without my D-O-A-P dope!"
