The Old Dope Peddler

The Old D**e Peddler - Tom Lehrer

When the shades of night are falling

Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows

It's the old d**e peddler

Spreading joy wherever he goes

Ev'ry evening you will find him

Around our neighborhood

It's the old d**e peddler

Doing well by doing good

He gives the kids free samples

Because he knows full well

That today's young innocent faces

Will be tomorrow's clientele

Here's a cure for all your troubles

Here's an end to all distress

It's the old d**e peddler

With his powdered ha-happiness
