Brave Combo - Sly Cigarette Lyrics
That sly cigarette.Song sung in 1898 by miss. s. h. dudley for the runaway girlAnd this is tiny tim trying to redo it.If girls and boys were asked what joysThey found the most entrancingEach boy would name his favorite game>from sports, drink and dancingBut girls with me will all agreeAlthough you think Im jokingWith twinkling eye theyd make replyThe best of all is smoking.Oh, sly cigaretteOh, fine cigaretteWhy did you teach me to love you soWhen I have to pretend that I dont, you know(repeat above chorus three times)Oh, you poor little cigarette!How theyre stomping and crushing you today.Theyre taking advantage of your small little natureTheyre blaming you for cancer when you can still getCholesterol from butter and fat from lard and baconAnd all these meats and cheeses that are causing heart attacks and tumorsWhy are they picking on you, oh sly cigarette? its not fair, somebody has to protest!And get back to normality againOh, sly cigaretteOh, fine cigaretteWhy did you teach me to love you soWhen I have to pretend that I dont, you knowOh, sly cigaretteOh, fine cigaretteWhy did you teach me to love you soWhen I have to pretend that I dont, you know
