That sly cigarette.
|
Song sung in 1898 by Miss. S. H. Dudley for the Runaway Girl
|
and this is Tiny Tim trying to redo it.
|
|
If girls and boys were asked what joys
|
they found the most entrancing
|
Each boy would name his favorite game
|
>From sports, drink and dancing
|
But girls with me will all agree
|
Although you think I'm joking
|
With twinkling eye they'd make reply
|
The best of all is smoking.
|
|
Oh, sly cigarette
|
Oh, fine cigarette
|
Why did you teach me to love you so
|
When I have to pretend that I don't, you know
|
|
(Repeat above chorus three times)
|
|
Oh, you poor little cigarette!
|
How they're stomping and crushing you today.
|
They're taking advantage of your small little nature
|
They're blaming you for cancer when you can still get
|
cholesterol from butter and fat from lard and bacon
|
And all these meats and cheeses that are causing heart attacks and tumors
|
Why are they picking on you, oh sly cigarette? It's not fair, somebody has to protest!
|
And get back to normality again
|
|
Oh, sly cigarette
|
Oh, fine cigarette
|
Why did you teach me to love you so
|
When I have to pretend that I don't, you know
|
|
Oh, sly cigarette
|
Oh, fine cigarette
|
Why did you teach me to love you so
|
When I have to pretend that I don't, you know
|
