Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen - Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) lyrics

Travis-Williams Cho: Smoke! Smoke! Smoke that cigarette! Puff, Puff, Puff and if you smoke yourself to d**h Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate That you hate to make him wait But you've just got to have another cigarette Now I'm a feller with a heart of gold And the ways of a gentleman, I've been told The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea-- But if me and a certain character met The guy that invented the cigarette I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree-- Not 'cause I don't smoke myself And I don't reckon they'll harm your health I've smoked all my life and ain't dead yet But nicotine slaves are all the same At a pettin' party or a poker game Everything must stop while they smoke that cigarette In a game of chance the other night Old Dame Fortune was a-doin' me right The Kings and Queens just kept on comin' around-- I played 'em hard and bet 'em high But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy He kept on raisin' and layin' the money down He'd raise me and I'd raise him I sweated blood gotta sink or swim He finally called and didn't raise the bet-- I said "Aces full, pal,--how 'bout you?" He said "I'll tell you in a minute or two Right now I've just got to have a cigarette." The other night I had a date With the cutest little girl in the forty eight states A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame-- She said she loved me and it seemed to me That things were 'bout like they oughta be So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane-- She was oh, so far from a cake of ice Our smoochin' party was a-goin nice So help me Hannah, I think I'd a been there yet-- But I give her a kiss and a little squeeze And she said "Tex excuse me please I've just got to have another cigarette." Well life ain't nothing but a poker game No two hands quite the same But I never saw a winner that didn't bet So if any people tryin' to quit I ain't gonna criticize you one bit Just make mine a Jamaican cigarette
