Talking Cancer Blues |
| I was sitting in the back yard sucking on a Good Humor |
| Along comes a Doc, says my wife has a tumor |
| And it was malignant |
| Now the AMA and the medical highers |
| They don’t agree with Liggette & Meyers |
| They say smoking is bad for you |
| Hell of a cough, too |
| Well, there is cancer of the liver; |
| there is cancer of the lung |
| Cancer of the lip, the throat, the tongue |
| There’s 17 malignant tumors in one filter tip king size |
| Now light up |
| Well, a cigarette was needed that was relatively clean |
| They come out with filters, low tar & nicotine |
| All that research gone to waste |
| No harmful ingredient, no cigarette taste |
| Well, the companies panicked, they had to find an answer |
| They increased the tobacco strain and everybody’s getting cancer |
| Look what I got free with these cigarette coupons |
| A chest X-ray |
| Well, the hashish interest in Mexico |
| Has found a way to redouble their dough |
| Let’s all get the habit, marijuana’s here to stay |
| So if you want a treat and you don’t mind the treatment |
| Smoke pot! |
| It’s the thinking man’s cigarette |
