Mountain Mania<\/p>\n
Way back in the hills of Tennessee
\nSomething was brewing and it wasn\u2019t tea.
\nUncle John was at it again.
\nBut, he wasn\u2019t making bathtub gin.
\nHe had his still fired up to the max.
\nYou could buy this booze and not pay tax.
\nIt was some potent mountain brew.
\nBurn your hairs and moustache too.
\nSome teenage kids had an idea.
\nInstead of: \u201cI caught ya. Wouldn\u2019t want to be ya.\u201d
\nThey decided to pull a psilocybin trick.
\nSome \u2018magic mushrooms\u2019, blended thick.
\nThey added the mix to the still.
\nThat should give em all a thrill.
\nUncle John didn\u2019t have a clue.
\nHe sold all his jugs of the special brew.
\nCustomers were seeing pixies dancing on the lawn.
\nPink elephants flying around till dawn.
\nBizarre colors and shooting stars.
\nSome were seeing men from Mars.
\nThe teenagers were laughing their asses off.
\nTill someone shot at them from a loft.
\nUncle John had to shut down his still.
\nHe decided to make out his will.
\nThings were quite tense for quite some time.
\nIt was said: \u201cThat was some damn good moonshine.\u201d
\nUncle John didn\u2019t think he could do it again.
\nHe didn\u2019t know how to even begin.
\nFinally, the teenagers told him what they did.
\nUncle John was mad & almost flipped his lid.
\nThen, he realized there was money in it.
\nHe hired the teenagers and brewed more shit.
\nThey called it. \u201cMountain Mania.\u201d
\nOne drink and you are insane. Ya!!
\nBy the time the revenuers caught on.
\nUncle John and kids were long gone.<\/p>\n
