But if me and a certain character met
‘Course, it ain’t cause I don’t smoke myself
But nicotine slaves are all the same
(Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette)
In a game of chance the other night
He’d raise me, I’d raise him
I said “aces full pal, how ’bout you?”
(Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette)
The other night I had me a date
She said she loved me and it seemed to me
I give her a kiss, a little squeeze
(Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette)
