Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) - Tex Williams Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold With the ways of a Gentleman I've been told A kind of a fellow that Wouldn't even harm a flea But if me and a certain character met That guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son of A gun in the first degree
That ain't that I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon They'll injure your health I've smoked them all My life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same At a pheasant party or a poker game Everythin's gotta stop When they have that cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
Puff puff puff And if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
Now at a game of chance the other night Ol' Dame Forson wasn't Doing me right Them kings and queens Just kept on coming round
Well I got a full and I bet it high But my plug didn't work on a certain guy He just kept a rising and A laying that money down
He's raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood I had to sink or swim He finally called and He didn't raise the bet
I said aces is full pal how about you He said I'll tell you in a minute or two But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
Puff puff puff And if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
The other night I had a date with The cutest gal in the fifty states A highbred uptown social little dame
She said she loved me and it seemed to me That things were like they 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 a goin' real nice So help and I think I'd've been there yet
But I give her a hug and a little squeeze And she said Willie excuse me please But I just gotta have another cigarette
Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
Puff puff puff And if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you just gotta have another cigarette
