about

pracftically the only hit single that shifted any serious units in depression era 1939 America.
Cigarettes had become a serious source of revenue overnight
and as such the song was intentionally pushed once momentum was achieved for both the song and cigarettes themselves in the hope it would restore the nations economy.

Cigaettes have since been realised to cause the most serious costs to any nations economy from sick days and hospitaisations

lyrics

well, i'm a fella with a heart of gold
with the ways of a gentleman i've been told
the kind of guy that wouldn't even harm a flee
but if me and a certain character met
the guy that invented the cigarette
well i'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree

it aint coz i dont smoke myself
i dont reckon they hinder your health
i've smoked 'em all my life and i aint dead yet
but nicotine slaves are all the same
at a petting party or a poker game
everything got to stop while they have that cigarette

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that cigarette
puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
tell Saint Peter at at the golden gates
that you hate to make him wait
but you've just gotta have another cigarette (not)
