lyrics

i got big feet
i wear odd socks
and i keep my marijuana in a heart shaped box

Well listen now people won't you lend me a hand
i gotta tell a story won''t you try to understand
well i smoked my first reefer when i was seventeen
and let me tell you baby it was revelatory

and now forget the three bears and goldilocks
and listen to the tale of my heart shaped box

Well the tale is very simple and to the point
the whole world changed when i smoked my first joint
you see it opened up my mind and helped me see
the road i chose is my destiny

and so i chose, but i got lost
then i went looking for my heart shaped box

DOH!

well years went by and i shambled around
head full of dreams but lost in a cloud
i went back to school, but you know what?
its hard to study when you smoke a lot of pot

and so i called myself 'the guitar man'
and wrote the story of the troubles of man
and i thought i was a superstar - but i was not
i was alone in a room with my heart shaped box

yeah and though a smoke'd lift me to the top of the pops
i'd crash down heavy when my heart shaped box was empty

so gather round children and listen to me
live your life as you may be
but if you smoke marijuana - don't get lost
keep a lid on your heart shaped box.

and that was the tale of my heart shaped box
