Smoke, Smoke, Smoke (That Cigarette) |
Cho: |
Smoke! |
Smoke! |
Smoke that cigarette! |
Puff, Puff, Puff and if you smoke yourself to death |
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate |
That you hate to make him wait |
But you just got to have another cigarette. |
Now I’m a feller with a heart of gold, |
And the ways of a gentleman, I’ve been told, |
The kind of guy that wouldn’t even harm a flea -- |
But if me and a certain character met, |
The guy that invented the cigarette, |
I’d murder that sun of a gun in the first degree -- |
Not 'cause I don’t smoke myself, |
And I don’t reckon they’ll harm your health |
I’ve smoked all my life and I ain’t dead yet |
But nicotine slaves are all the same, |
At a pettin' party or a poker game, |
Everything must stop while they smoke that cigarette. |
Smoke! |
Smoke! |
Smoke that cigarette! |
Puff, Puff, Puff and if you smoke yourself to death |
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate |
That you hate to make him wait |
But you just got to have another cigarette. |
In a game of chance the other night |
Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right, |
The Kings and Queens just kept on comin' around -- |
I played 'em hard and bet 'em high, |
But my bluff didn’t work on a certain guy, |
He kept raisin' and layin' the money down |
He’d raise me and I’d raise him, |
I sweated blood gotta sink or swim, |
He finally called and didn’t raise the bet -- |
I said «Aces full, pal,-- how 'bout you?» |
He said «I'll tell you in a minute or two, |
Right now I’ve just got to have a cigarette.» |
Somke! |
Smoke! |
Smoke that cigarette! |
Puff, Puff, Puff and if you smoke yourself to death |
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate |
That you hate to make him wait |
But you just got to have another cigarette. |
The other night I had a date |
With the cutest girl in the forty eight states |
A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame -- |
She said she love me and it seemed to me |
That things were 'bout like they oughta be, |
So hand in hand we strolled down lovers lane -- |
She was oh, so far from a cake of ice, |
Our smoochin' party was a-goin' nice, |
So help me Hannah, I think I’d been there yet -- |
But I gave her a kiss and a little squeeze |
And she said «Tex excuse me please, |
I’ve just got to have another cigarette.» |
Smoke! |
Smoke! |
Smoke that cigarette! |
Puff, Puff Puff and if you smoke yourself to death |
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate |
That you hate to make him wait |
But you just got to have another cigarette. |
