Lyrics[edit | edit source]

The Pure Guava lyric sheet contains official lyrics in Dean Ween's handwriting:

Talkin' to some Joe, hangin' out, shootin' shit
Tries to tell me somethin', I play it off legit

So pleasant when the sails of the seas of Orion gently slip
No more need for God's sorrow, I play it off legit

Dude's hounding this bitch, I'm checkin' out the shit laughing
Later on I'll fuck her; she knows I'm legit

A sexy scorpion that stings with her wit
I play it off legit, 'cuz I know I'm legit[2]
