“…Zipping through the zippy day, Zipping through the night, Zippety-zip they get the jobs, and money, Zip they have the kids, Zip they in the coffin, Folks is zipping up the lids, And speaking of lids man, Life gets pretty zippy When you quit doing weed
Maine to Mississippi , Things is picking up speed….” – Michael Smith
