I Love You

I Love You

Smokers of the world unite
Keep that ciggie burning bright
Nick O’Teen is having fun
Clogging, blackening the lung

Don’t you know that it aint smart
To let that fiend into your heart
There won’t be any looking back
After fatal heart attack

And when the girl that you adore
Says she’ll kiss your lips no more
She’s looking for a smoke free zone
Leaves you standing all alone

When you're just a year from death
Pleading, begging your next breath
Even though you've never seen her
Meet your new friend Emphysema

So smokers of the world unite
Keep that ciggie burning bright
You'll never have a friend so true
When every drag says, I love you

Don’t want to be loved by Emphysemia! I remember my son’s horrid breath when he was chewing tobacco. Nick O’Teen is having fun…did you know that one of the nicknames for the devil is “Old Nick.”

An uncomfortable truth made palatable by humour. :)
