If the lyrics, subtitle does not show up then turn on the closed captions!

Shamen were a Scottish psychedelic-influenced electronic dance music band from Aberdeen, Scotland.
This song is the second single from their sixth studio album 'Boss Drum' from 1992.

This song has 2 meaning.
1 is about a guy who likes to go to parties;
and the other meaning of this song is about the Ecstasy designer drug.
If you take out the H letter from the He word you get E letter and it means Ecstasy drug.
The Shamen sang this song with E letter and not with He word in their live performances.

„...There's two songs in one like running down this parallel track. One song about a drug and one song about a character who goes out partying. They're two completely different songs...”
Mr. C

In the Cockney (from the East End of London, or London generally) slang
vera means rolling paper for cigarettes;
salmon means tobacco.

The audio track changed to better quality in this video.

'The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode' lyrics:

A great philosopher once wrote
„Naughty naughty, very naughty”

There's a guy in the place
He's got a bittersweet face
And he goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode
His friends call him 'Eezer and
He is the main geezer and he'll vibe about the place
Like no other man could
He's refined, sublime, he makes you feel fine
Though very much maligned and misunderstood
But if you know 'Eezer he's a real crowd pleaser
He's ever so good, he's Ebeneezer Goode
You can see that he's mysterious, mischievous and devious
As he circulates amongst the people in the place
But once you know he's fun and something of a genius
He gives a grin that grows around from face to face to face
Backwards and then forwards, forwards and then backwards
'Eezer is the geezer who loves to muscle in
That's about the time the crowd
All shout the name of 'Eezer
As he's caught will be in the corner, laughing by the bass bin

'Eezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Has anybody got any veras?
Lovely!

A great philosopher once wrote
„Naughty naughty, very naughty”

Ebeneezer Goode, leading light of the scene
Know what I mean - See
He created the vibe,
He takes you for a ride and as if by design
The party ignites like he's comin' alive
He takes you to the top, shakes you all around
Then back down, you know as he gets mellow
Then as smooth as the groove
That is making you move
He glides into your mind with a sunny "Hello!"
A gentleman of leisure, he's there for your pleasure
But go easy on old 'Eezer
He's the love you could lose
Extraordinary fellow, like Mr. Punchinello
He's the kind of geezer
who must never be abused
When you're in town and Ebeneezer is around
You can sense a presence in the sound of the crowd
He gets them all at it, the party starts rocking
The people get excited it's time to shout loud

'Eezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode
He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

'Eezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode

'Eezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Got any salmon
So we

'Eezer Goode, 'Eeezer Goode

'Eezer Goode, 'Eeezer Goode
Oh, what a carry on

'Eezer Goode, 'Eeezer Goode

Wicked

'Eezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

Oh, what a carry on
He's Ebeneezer Goode

'Eeezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode

Wicked

'Eeezer Goode, 'Eezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode

He's Ebeneezer Goode
