The Lyrics
When you were young
and your lungs weren't tar-filled nooks
You used to say breathe and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
But now you're hooked, and smoke
three cigarettes an hour
And you gasp, wheeze and sigh
Say "smoke 'em and die"
Smoke 'em and die
What does it matter to ya
When you fill a room with smoke
You're gonna make it smell
And make the other fella feel like hell
You used to say breathe and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
But now you're coughing up some blood
and barely living
And your lungs? Black and dry
Say smoke 'em and die
Smoke 'em and die
and your lungs weren't tar-filled nooks
You used to say breathe and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
But now you're hooked, and smoke
three cigarettes an hour
And you gasp, wheeze and sigh
Say "smoke 'em and die"
Smoke 'em and die
What does it matter to ya
When you fill a room with smoke
You're gonna make it smell
And make the other fella feel like hell
You used to say breathe and let live
you know you did
you know you did
you know you did
But now you're coughing up some blood
and barely living
And your lungs? Black and dry
Say smoke 'em and die
Smoke 'em and die
