KING NOSMO
Smoke gets in your eyes
Isn’t it real nice?
It makes you realize
That smoking’s not a vice
… It’s addiction
And I confess, now and then
Christmas and Ramadan
With coffee in the morning
And daffodils in spring
Booze makes you a lush
Mushrooms make you mush
And cocaine has its rush
But one you cannot touch
… Is nicotine
The queen of all the drugs
You’ve ever seen
And I confess, now and then
A quarter to and after ten
With coffee in the morning
And daffodils in spring
Valium is much desired
Heroin gets you wired
And marijuana fired
But a taste to be acquired
… Quite easily
Is you bet
The cigarette
And I confess, now and then
Excuse me
I’ve got to go to the store for more
