Now people are talkin'
throughout the land
About a givin' up smokin'
or changin' brands
And you know, it's got me shook up too
Cause the doctor give my lungs a check
And scratched his head and said,
By heck, you better quit them fags
Or soon they'll bury you
Since I've learned these facts
That's why it drives me nuts
I love them things now twice as much
Even though I know it'll
soon cause regrets
I know I'll be a tobacco slave
Till the day they put me in my grave
But come what may, I'll have to say
I can't quit cigarettes
Oh, oh, take another drag
Light another fag
I've tried to stop, but I haven't yet
So come what may, I'll have to say
I can't quit cigarettin'
Now my boss hung up no smokin' signs
And I thought for sure I'd lose my mind
So I went to his office and said,
Bye,
George, I quit
And he said, now look, this ain't no joke,
you keep this place fogged up in smoke, you
can't resign, you're fired,
now take your things and get!
He said, I never have seen a man who could burn that weed the way you can,
and just thinking
about it, makes me sweat.
I said, oh well, I guess you're right,
but before I leave, would you give me a light?
I guess you see what's wrong with me,
I can't quit cigarettes
Now my girlfriend said give up them things,
if you don't I'll give you back your ring
Cause you're getting pale and
thin as a walking ghost
Said I ain't gonna keep on kissing the fiend
that's always drinking with nicotine
Now, you just take your choice of
which one you love the most
Well, I thought this over for a little while
Then I give her my answer
with a sheepish smile
I know I'll miss her,
cause she's my favorite pet
But I don't need love,
I've saved a grand
I'm gonna buy me a ton of
my favorite brand
Then I'll be broke, but oh, how I'll smoke
I can't quit cigarettes
Oh, oh, take another drag
Light another fag, I've tried to stop,
but I haven't yet
So come watch me, I'll have to say,
