SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE THAT CIGARETTE


She was cute once
Lady in red
So it was said
Remember in white
The day she wed?
In a box they put her
Now she's dead
Doesn't look so good
In her pine colored coffin
One day she
Just couldn't stop
and she began a cough in!
Smoke poured from underground
Can you hear that muffled sound?
Poor girl message never read
Tried to breathe
Lit up a cigarette instead
Remember filling your heart with desire
That girl was on fire
Right up to the day she die expire.

Why do I hate smoking so "Dan, they
are using my intestines to remake my lungs."
Mom died at 55--Cancer---?
So many and too late I discovered
the cure for lung Cancer.
Put then in the coffin.
Dad, who I hated never the less
Was in a wheel chair smoking
Tossed a cigarette in the corner
House caught on fire and he couldn't get out
