I'm a guy with a heart of gold
The ways of a gentleman, I've been told
The kind of guy who'd never harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
The man who invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
Now it ain't 'cause I don't smoke myself
And I don't figure it'll hurt my health
Been smokin' for twenty-five years, ain't dead yet
But them nicotine slaves, they're all the same
At a pettin' party or poker game
Everything's gotta stop when you smoke that cigarette
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff, and if you puff yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the golden gate
That you just hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
ย
At a game of chance the other night
Old Dame Fortune was doin' me right
The kings and queens just kept on comin' 'round
Well, I played them low, bet 'em high
My blood didn't work on a certain guy
Kept on bettin', layin' that money down
He'd raise me, I'd raise him
I sweated blood, you gotta sink or swim
Well, he finally called and then didn't raise the bet
I said, "Aces full, pal, how about you?"
He said, "I'll tell ya in a minute or two
But right now I'm gonna smoke another cigarette"
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff, and if you puff yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the golden gate
That you just hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
ย
The other night I had a date
With the cutest little gal in the forty-eight states
A regular uptown fancy kinda dame
She said she'd love me, it seemed to me
Things was goin' the way they's supposed to be
Hand in hand, we was rollin' down Lovers' Lane
She was oh so far from a cake of ice
Our pettin' party was goin' nice
So help me Hannah, I'd have been there yet
But I gave her a hug and a little squeeze
And she said, "Cody, excuse me please
But right now I gotta light up one of them cigarettes"
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff, and if you puff yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the golden gate
That you just hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have just one more cigarette
ย
Now life ain't nothin' but a poker game
No two hands quite the same
And I never saw a winner that didn't bet
So if any of you folks fixin' to quit
I ain't gonna criticize you one little bit
Instead, I'm gonna light up one of them cigarettes
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff, and if you puff yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the golden gate
That you just hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
ย
Got a smoke?
