Verse I I know there's a lotta talk going around today About cigarette smoking whittling your life away I've seen it and I've heard it so many times That finally it just started to prey on my mind I guess it scared me a little bit That's why I decided I was gonna quit So while I was sitting here forming my battle plan I took another puff and turned on the fan I just sat there in my easy chair And thought of all the money I'd wasted on cigarettes all these years I thought how I'd spend the rest of my days After I kick this habit my body craves Said to myself this ain't gonna be so tough With that little bit of assurance (No chord) I took another puff I took a puff, a puff, then I ripped off another puff I decided I'd about had about enough That breaking this habit won't be too tough Verse II Now I've give a lot of thought to this thing If I didn't smoke cigarettes I'd feel just like a king Besides with the price going up every day I knew I was just throwing all my good money away You know I ain't lit one in an hour or so? Just wanted to make sure I could quit you know I was thinking maybe I oughta write all this down Put it in a song kinda circulate it around Can't ever tell it might make a hit And that redneck Hall did a little bit Can you imagine me a hit songwriter! Now where's... Where'd I put that cigarette lighter? After all it's a habit and a habit you can break Just a little bit of willpower son that's all it takes I said to myself you got to be tough! And with that little bit of wisdom (No chord) I took another puff I took a puff, and then a puff, then I finally ripped off another puff And I decided boy this ain't gonna be tough Besides I'd just about had enough Verse III I'm about ready to quit this rotten habit anyway Oh I think they ought to take it offa television It looks too good! Ow! I like them skinny ones with the filter Oh give it to me! Give it to me! Cigarettes... I say if I quit smoking what'll I do? Maybe I'll eat Yeah I'll eat cigarettes Ahh, I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it I love it Chester don't smoke he smokes logs! Makes you laugh funny too Oh my throat's scratchin', oh I wish I could think of something bad to say about cigarettes Boo on cigarettes, don't smoke don't smoke don't smoke You quit smoking that'll leave more for me! I love it I love it, no I don't love cigarettes ya know Don't misunderstand me I hate cigarettes Makes ya cough, and when ya don't smoke it makes ya shake I don't know what's worse, the shake or the cough I think I'll make me a coughshake, oh! Son did you ever smoke? Oh I remember one time I quit smoking I quit for three months My wife left me So did my children She took my house and left It was a mobile home
