Lyrics

[00:04.58] Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold
[00:06.17] With the ways of a gentleman I've been told
[00:08.22] A kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea
[00:10.02]
[00:11.72] But if me and a certain character met
[00:13.36] That guy that invented the cigarette
[00:14.90] I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
[00:17.60]
[00:18.89] That ain't that I don't smoke myself
[00:20.74] And I don't reckon they'll harm your health
[00:22.49] I've smoked 'em all my life and I ain't dead yet
[00:24.73]
[00:26.25] But nicotine slaves are all the same
[00:27.98] At a pettin' party or a poker game
[00:29.57] Everythin's gotta stop when they have that cigarette
[00:31.68]
[00:33.56] Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[00:37.25] Puff puff puff
[00:38.60] And if you puff yourself to death
[00:40.29] Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate
[00:42.19] That you hate to make him wait
[00:43.94] But you just gotta have another cigarette
[00:46.64]
[00:47.96] Now at a game of chance the other night
[00:49.87] Old Dame Fortune was doin' me right
[00:51.62] Them kings and queens just kept on comin' round
[00:54.06]
[00:55.20] Well I got a full and I bet it high
[00:57.14] But my plug didn't work on a certain guy
[00:58.84] He just kept a risin' and a layin' that money down
[01:01.44]
[01:02.78] He's raise me and I'd raise him
[01:04.48] I sweated blood I had to sink or swim
[01:06.28] He finally called and he couldn't raise the bet
[01:08.27]
[01:09.82] I said \"aces is full pal how about you?\"
[01:11.46] He said \"I'll tell you in a minute or two
[01:13.56] But I just gotta have another cigarette\"
[01:15.95]
[01:17.25] Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[01:20.74] Puff puff puff
[01:21.78] And if you puff yourself to death
[01:23.92] Tell St Peter at the Golden Gateif you puff yourself
[01:25.82] That you hate to make him wait
[01:27.57] But you just gotta have another cigarette
[01:30.30]
[01:46.27] The other night I had a date with
[01:47.96] with the cutest little gal in the 50 states
[01:49.66] a highbred up-town fancy little dame
[01:52.50]
[01:53.09] She said she loved me and it seemed to me
[01:54.66] That things were just about like they oughta be
[01:57.16] So hand in hand we strolled down Lover's Lane
[01:59.36]
[02:00.71] She was oh so far from a chunk of ice
[02:02.62] And our smoochin' party was a goin' real nice
[02:04.52] So help me hannah and I think I'd've been there yet
[02:06.56]
[02:08.30] But I give her a hug and a little squeeze
[02:09.89] And she said \"Willie excuse me please
[02:11.84] But I just gotta have another cigarette\"
[02:13.73]
[02:15.58] Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[02:19.02] Puff puff puff
[02:20.91] And if you puff yourself to death
[02:22.55] Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate
[02:24.24] That you hate to make him wait
[02:26.05] But you just gotta have another cigarette
[02:28.50]
[02:30.14] Smoke smoke smoke that cigarette
[02:33.77] Puff puff puff
[02:35.16] And if you puff yourself to death
[02:37.01] Tell St Peter at the Golden Gate
[02:38.82] That you hate to make him wait
[02:40.88] But you just gotta have another cigarette
[02:44.68] Just gotta have another cigarette
