Introduction
Have you ever heard a song that just makes you smile, no matter where you are? Toby Keith’s “Wacky Tobaccy” is exactly that kind of song. It’s playful, light-hearted, and feels like a nudge from a good friend who knows how to have fun and doesn’t take things too seriously. From the first strum, you know you’re in for a ride, and it’s not just any ride—it’s one full of laughter, wit, and a touch of rebellious charm.
The song itself, as the title suggests, is all about that infamous “wacky tobaccy,” a slang term for marijuana. Toby Keith doesn’t hold back in celebrating it, infusing the song with a relaxed, almost carefree vibe that invites listeners to just kick back and enjoy life. It’s not just the subject matter that stands out here; it’s the way he delivers it with such personality. It feels like he’s sitting next to you on a back porch, grinning, and sharing a story over a cold beer.
What makes this song so special isn’t just its humor, though—it’s also the way it fits into Keith’s broader discography. He’s known for songs that blend country charm with humor and a little bit of edge, and “Wacky Tobaccy” fits right into that mold. Yet, it’s the kind of tune that doesn’t demand too much. Instead, it invites you to relax and not take life too seriously. For those who appreciate a good laugh mixed with catchy, laid-back music, this song is pure gold.
There’s something infectious about the chorus, with its sing-along quality that’s perfect for a road trip or a summer evening by the fire. You can almost picture Toby Keith laughing while recording it, knowing full well it’s a tongue-in-cheek anthem for the easygoing and the carefree. And if you’ve ever heard of or experienced the laid-back culture that surrounds this type of “tobaccy,” you’ll get an even bigger kick out of it.
At its core, “Wacky Tobaccy” is just fun. It doesn’t try to be profound or groundbreaking—it simply lets loose, offering listeners a chance to do the same. That’s the magic of Toby Keith; he knows when to laugh, and he invites you to join him.

Lyrics
Aw, yeah
Uh-huh
What’s that smell?
Wanda is a woman, she works down the hall
Shows up on time, she like balls to the wall
She went out to lunch with her high school friends
‘Bout three hours later, she came rollin’ back in
Well, the boss man really jumped her
Son, he wasn’t joking
Everybody in the office knew Wanda had been smokin’
That old wacky tobaccy
When you feel it creeping up on you
That old wacky tobaccy
Kick back and let it do what it do
Now you can two tote her, you can one hit him
Puff it in a pipe and you can twist it in a stem
You can bake it in some brownies, smoke it through a bong
Roll up a great big fat one like old Cheech and Chong
Burn it through a hole, in a can of Budweiser
If you can’t take the heat, son, vaporizer
That old wacky tobaccy
When you feel it creeping up on you
That old wacky tobaccy
Kick back and let it do what it do
Now do what you do
Oh, yeah
You got your Mexican and Jamaican with those buds of blue
Humboldt County and Hydroponic too
Okeechobee Purple from down in the South
And that old stuff your uncle smokes will give you cotton mouth
Homegrown is healthy, synthetic can kill you
My all-time favorite, Red Hair Sinsemilla
That old wacky tobaccy
When you feel it creeping up on you
That old wacky tobaccy
Kick back and let it do what it do
Aw, let it do what it do
Yeah, it do
Y’all got any Fritos?
