The Lyrics
bald and wan...her lungs all rotten
the girl with emphysema starts coughin'
and as she's hackin', her lungs expandin'....go argggh
when she coughs, it causes trauma
she's smokin' "kools", though detrimental
that's why she's hackin', her lungs expandin'...go ouch
ooh...and i watch her so sadly
how...can she smoke...this i wonder
yes...cigarettes did her badly
but each day, she still craves nicotine
she'll smoke...till she's dead...wait and see
bald and wan...her lungs all rotten
the girl with emphysema starts coughin'
and she'll be hackin'...a while
but still smokes you see
she can't let 'em be
she'll soon be deceased
the girl with emphysema starts coughin'
and as she's hackin', her lungs expandin'....go argggh
when she coughs, it causes trauma
she's smokin' "kools", though detrimental
that's why she's hackin', her lungs expandin'...go ouch
ooh...and i watch her so sadly
how...can she smoke...this i wonder
yes...cigarettes did her badly
but each day, she still craves nicotine
she'll smoke...till she's dead...wait and see
bald and wan...her lungs all rotten
the girl with emphysema starts coughin'
and she'll be hackin'...a while
but still smokes you see
she can't let 'em be
she'll soon be deceased

Good message.
great idea - wish I'd thought of it - well executed, Alvin - 555
great title, and use of a hard to spell word
It never fails; on any given day, you always have a title that makes me laugh by itself. Great stuff.
Nice job, Alvin! 5s...
Have a drag on these 555's, Al...
thank you john stuart royce clause arwen and kristof
Empathy for the girl with emphazema
Perfectly sick and funny, loved it.
555 cans of Spaceballs "Perry-Air".
thank you all....
Smokin'!
Why didnt I think of this? Great job!
thanks michael and billy
This song would be great for an anti-tobacco PSA on television; if the contrast between a bouncy tune and gruesome imagery didn't get people's attention, nothing would. 5's all round.
thanks ingeborg
Excellent!
Very good! 5s
