(spoken:)
A preachment, dear friends, you`re about to receive,
on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve...
(sung:)
I once was happy and I had a good life
I had enough money to last me for life
I met with a gal and we went on a spree
She taught me to smoke and to drink whiskey.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Cigarettes is a blot on the whole human race.
A man is a monkey with one in his face.
That`s my definition, believe me dear brother,
A fire on one end and a fool on the t`other.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Write on the cross at the head of my grave
To women and whiskey here lies a poor slave
Take warning dear stranger, take warning dear friend.
They`ll write in big letters these words at my end.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Cigarettes and whiskey and wild wild women
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
They`ll drive you crazy they`ll drive you insane.
Hallelujah brother.
