Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette) versuri

Now I'm a fellow with a heart of gold
With the ways of a gentleman I've been told
The kind of a fellow that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
The guy that invented the cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree
 
'Now, it ain't cause I don't smoke myself
And I don't reckon they'll hinder your health
I've smoked them all my life and I ain't dead yet
But nicotine slaves are all the same
At a pettin' party or a poker game
Everything's gotta stop while they have that cigarette
 
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hates to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
 
Now, in a game of chance the other night
Old Dame Fortune was doin' me right
The kings and the queens, they just kept on comin' around
Then I got a full and I betted high
But my bluff didn't work on a certain guy
He just kept on a-raisin' and layin' that money down
 
Now, he'd raise me and I'd raise him
I sweated blood, you gotta sink or swim
He finally called, and then didn't raise the bet
I said "Aces full, pal, how about you?"
And he said "Well, I'll tell you in just a minute or two
But right now, I just gotta have a cigarette"
 
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hates to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette
 
The other night I had a date
With the cutest little girl in the 48 States
A high-bred, uptown, fancy little dame
Now, she said she loved me and it seemed to me
The things were just about like they ought to be
So hand in hand we strolled down lover's lane
 
She was, oh! so far from a chunk of ice
And our smoochin' party was goin' real nice
So help me, Hannah, I think I'd of been there yet
But I gave her a kiss and a little squeeze
And she said, "Tex, excuse me please
But I just gotta have another cigarette"
 
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hates to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

In France, Eddy Mitchell also recorded a French version of the song, on his album Rocking in Nashville (1974) : Fume cette cigarette. Finnish band Hullujussi covered the song in 1975, "Polta tupakkaa!"
