Light hearted saga of a devout pot smoker set to Latin Guajira groove. Track features an overdriven Santana-esque rock guitar part with a psychedelic segue sonically reminiscent of a Jimi Hendrix meets the Chambers Brothers treatment.

Lyrics
Chorus (Spanish)
El marijuanero, anda buscando
La cosa
El marijuanero, anda buscando
Es la mota que le gosa
El marijuanero,
Verse
From morning 'til late at night
It's Bambu and Zig Zag white
From morning 'til late at night
He's mellow, never gets uptight
Reefer is all he needs
That's why he lives and breathes
If he runs out of weed
He smokes the stems and seeds
Chorus (English)
El marijuanero, he goes loco
without a toke-o
El Marijuanero, he's got no dough
all his money's up in smoke-o
El Marijuanero
Verse
He's getting hungry now
He's ready for some chow
He's getting hungry now
He's craving some cupcakes now
He's herbally devout
The ganja's what he's all about
He's herbally devout
Now he's laughing and tripping out
