    I like the lyrics but I don’t think I could dance to it. Cheers!

    My first thought was Peter, Paul and Mary's "Puff, the Magic Dragon" - - a song that was never a drug song to begin with.
    so, it fits "anti- drug" song for me.


    And that final verse -- makes me cry almost every time.

    "Puff" is about the loss of childhood, nothing about drugs.

    I've heard for most of my life that many, many, many people believed the song was about smoking dope.
    But enough believe/d it that Peter Yarrow and group had officially declared the song's meaning was at face value --  the meaning you shared, yes.

    This one's more about mental health, really, but it does say drugs are bad:
