No-No Song - Ringo Starr

A lady that I know just came from Colombia

She smiled because I did not understand

Then she held out some marijuana, ha ha!

She said it was the best in all the land

And I said

«No, no, no, no, I don’t smoke it no more

I’m tired of waking up on the floor

No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze

And then it makes it hard to find the door»

(Ah-ah-aye-aye)

A woman that I know just came from Mallorca, Spain

She smiled because I did not understand (Parazzi! Parazzi!) (Olé!)

Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine

She said it was the finest in the land

And I said

«No, no, no, no, I don’t no more

I’m tired of waking up on the floor

No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze

And then it makes it hard to find the door»

(Aye-aye-aye-aye)

(Aye-aye-aye-aye)

(Aye-aye-aye-aye)

(Aye-aye-aye)

A man I know just came from Nashville, Tennessee, oh (oh no!)

He smiled because I did not understand

Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh ho

He said it was the best in all the land (and he wasn’t joking!)

And I said

«No, no, no, no, I don’t drink it no more

I’m tired of waking up on the floor

No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze

And then it makes it hard to find the door»

Well, I said

«No, no, no, no, I can’t take it no more

I’m tired of waking up on the floor

No, thank you, please, it only makes me sneeze

And then it makes it hard to find the door»

Hey, yeah!

«I'll just have another drink, barman, have you got a large brandy?»
