Now I'm a Afellar with a heart of gold
With the wD7ays of a gentleman, I've been told
The Akind of a fellar that E7wouldn't even harm a Aflea E7
But if mAe and a certain character met
That D7guy that invented the cigarette
I'd muArder that son-of-a-gE7un in the first degAree.
ANow, it ain't 'cause I don't smoke myself
An' I doD7n't reckon that they hinder your health
D7I've smAoked 'em all my lifE7e and I ain't dead Ayet! E7
But nicAotine slaves are all the same
At a peD7ttin' party or a poker game
Ev'ry-tAhing's gotta stop while they smE7oke the cigaretAte.
D7Smoke!, Smoke!, Smoke! that cigaArette
D7Puff!, Puff!, Puff! it ?till you B7smoke yourself to EdeatE7h
D7Tell Saint APeter at the Golden Gate
A7That you haD7tes to make him waiAt
AYou've just gotta have anEotheE7r cigaretAte.
In a game of chance the other night
Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right
Man, the kings and queens just kept on comin' around
Then I got a full and I bet it high
But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He just keep on raisin' and layin' the money down.
Now, he'd raise me - I'd raise him
I sweated blood - you gotta sink or swim
He finally called - didn't raise the bet
I said, "Aces full, Pal, how 'bout you?"
He said, "Well, I'll tell you in just a minute or two
But right now, I just gotta have myself a cigarette."
Now, the other night I had me a date
With the cutest little gal in the forty-eight states
A highbred, uptown, fancy little dame
She said she loved me and it seemed to me
That ev'rything was 'bout like it oughta be
So hand in hand, we strolled down lover's lane.
She was, oh, so far from a chunk of ice
And our smoochin' party was goin' real nice
So help me, Hanna, I think I'd-a been there yet
Well, I give her a kiss - a little squeeze
She said, "Tex, excuse me - please, but
I just gotta have another cigarette."
