One, two, three, four.
Now, it's not because I don't smoke myself, and I've read the thing, it'll harm your health, but I've smoked them all my life, and I ain't dead yet.
But nicotine slaves are all the same at a peasant party or a poker game.
Everything must stop while they have that cigarette.
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.
Pop, pop, pop it if you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate that he hates the making.
Wait, but you've got to have another cigarette.
You've got to have another.
Now, in the game of chance the other night, old Bing Fortune was doing me right.
The kings and the queens just kept on coming round.
Well, I played them hard, and I let them high, but I left it to work on a certain guy.
He kept on raising and laying his money down.
Now, he'd raise me, and I'd raise him.
I sweated blood, I got a scent to swim, and he finally called and didn't raise the bet.
I said, hey, C-School pal, how about you?
He said, I'll tell you in a minute or two, but right now I've got to have a cigarette.
Oh, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.
Pop, pop, pop it if you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate that he hates the making.
Wait, but you've got to have another cigarette.
You've got to have another.
Now, the other night I had a date with a curious little girl.
Wait, what?
She said she loved me, and it seemed to me that things were going about as they ought to be.
So, hand in hand, we walked down Lover's Lane.
She was old so far from a cake, a bice, or a smooch, and the party wasn't going nice.
She said, help me, Hannah, I think I'd have been there yet.
I gave her a kiss and a little squeeze, and she said, oh, Sam, it gives me glee.
But I thought, I've just got to have another cigarette.
Oh, smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.
Smoke, smoke, smoke it if you smoke yourself to death.
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate that he hates the making.
Wait, but you've got to have another cigarette.
You've got to have another cigarette.
And the next time, don't bring no filters.
You've got to have another cigarette.
