Alcapulco Gold from Time's Up by Guy Leroux

The song is about the legalization of marjiuana here in Canada. It's a fun song making fun of the cops that try to get rid of all the marjiuana by burning the crop. They didn't put the farmers in jail, but helped burn the crop. The smoke from the fire made everybody higher than a kite. Cannabis in Canada was legalized on October 17, 2018, for both recreational and medicinal purposes. So it was time to write a song thanking our P.M. for legalizing weed. The scenes mentioned in the song are fictious, but maybe not, you be the judge.

Lyrics

Alcapulco Gold JAN 2019

STARTED ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO WHEN THE COPS CAME BARGING IN

WE HAD AN ACRE OF THE FINEST WEED THE COPS HAD EVER SEEN

THEY BUSTED US FOR SMOKING UP AND OWNING SO MUCH DOPE

BUT INSTEAD OF JAIL THEY MADE US BURN OUR ALCAPULCO GOLD.

THE SMOKE FROM THAT WEED THAT THE COPS HELPED US FEED

THEY LAUGHED SO HARD AT ALL OUR JOKES THAT WERN'T ALL THAT FUNNY

WE ALL GOT HUNGRY SO WE ATE THOSE MUFFINS GRANNY MADE

THEN WE NOTICED A COP IN A TREE NAKED EATING A BAG OF BROWNIES.

YEARS AGO THE COPS DIDN'T KNOW WE WAS SITTING ON THAT SAC OF SEED

AND THANKS TO OUR CHIEF HE SAID WE COULD PLANT THAT BAG OF WEED

SAID IT'S OKAY TO OWN A LITTLE, SMOKE A LITTLE, SMOKE A LITTLE HASH HIS WAY

OUR NEIGHBOURS TO THE SOUTH ALL THINK WE'VE ALL GONE TO POT

CHORUS:

OUR ALCAPULCO GOLD WAS ALL UP IN SMOKE WHEN WE ALL GOT HIGH

THAT DAY THAT COP STARTED ACTING UP WHEN WE ALL GOT HIGH

REMEMBERING THAT COP NAKED IN THE TREE, HAD TO GET THE FIREMEN

TO GET THE POOR GUY DOWN (GOOD THING IT WASN'T A FEMALE COP)

POSSESSING MARIJUANA IS NOT A CRIME IT'S JUST CALLED JOINT CUSTODY

BUT NOW GROWING IN THE GREENHOUSES IS OUR ALCAPULCO GOLD (THANKS CHIEF)
