Manhattan Transfer, The - You're A Viper Lyrics
Talk about a reefer of five feet long
Not too fat and not too strong
You get high, but not for long
If you're a viper
Got to get high for to sing
Light that tee and we will see
If you're a viper
When coke gets dry you know you're high
Everything is hip and dandy
Truck on down to the candy store
Bust your chops on some peppermint candy
Now you know that you been sent
The sky is high and so am I
If you're a viper
When coke gets dry you know you're high
Everything is hip and dandy
Truck on down to the candy store
Bust your chops on some peppermint candy
Now you know everything
Got to get high for to sing
Light that tee and we will see
If you're a viper

Manhattan Transfer, The You're A Viper Comments
I love this album bestest of allest
Nice tune! Thanks for share it! En 1971 el desaparecido Tim Hauser creo una primera versión de su banda Manhattan Transfer y publico "Junkin" con Capitol Records, con diez temas como este divertido "You're A Viper", en esa primera formación estaba acompañado de Erin Dickins, Marty Nelson, Gene Pistilli, y Pat Rosalia, pero el álbum no tuvo éxito y al no renovar la discográfica se separó. Un año después volvió a intentarlo junto a Alan Paul, Janis Siegel, y Laurel Massé trayéndonos los éxitos que todos conocemos. #NowAndTHEN #JazzVocals
I've been looking for this version for 40 years. When WMMR in Philadelphia couldn't get sponsors after 2AM, DJ/engineer Paul Messing assembled hour long tapes with a stream of consciousness style under the title "OPUS". One of them included this song which segued perfectly into the Carnegie Hall recording of "Sing Sing Sing" without dropping a beat.
This was pretty "early" stuff by them. I posted another off the same album called "Sunny Disposish" , if you're interested. Thanks for commenting.
Richard.
Thanks for adding this. Manhattan Transfer never refers to this song as I think the newest grouping is embarrassed by it. Great rag time jazz cover.
