The Old Dope Peddler by Tom Lehrer When the shades of night are falling, Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows, It's the old dope peddler, Spreading joy wherever he goes. Ev'ry evening you will find him, A-round our neighborhood. It's the old dope peddler c c7 Doing well by doing good. He gives the kids free samples, Be-cause he knows full well That to-day's young innocent faces Will be to-morrow's clientele. Here's a cure for all your troubles, Here's an end to all dis-tress. It's the old dope peddler With his powdered ha-happiness.
