Ringo Starr's cover of Hoyt Axton's No No Song was included on his 1974 album Goodnight Vienna. It was a top three hit in the US, and a prophetic assessment of Starr's attitude towards addictive substances by the late 1980s.
A lady that I know just came from Colombia She smiled because I did not understand Then she held out some marijuana, oh ho She said it was the best in all the land
{Refrain} And I said, "No-no-no-no, I don't smoke it no more I'm tired of waking up on the floor No thank you please, it only makes me sneeze Then it makes it hard to find the door"
A woman that I know just came from Majorca, Spain She smiled because I did not understand Then she held out a ten pound bag of cocaine She said it was the finest in the land
{Refrain with [sniff]}
A man I know just came from Nashville, Tennessee-o He smiled because I did not understand Then he held out some moonshine whiskey, oh-ho He said it was the best in all the land
{Refrain with drink it}
{Refrain with "I can't take it no more"}
