The Cigar Song

Intro:      (x2) Verse 1: Well I’m a sucker for fine Cuban cigars The problem is I can’t afford em But last year I went and got myself a whole box Just to be safe I insured em I took out a policy against fire and theft Then I hurried on home With a 50 cent lighter I sat on my back steps And I smoked em one by one        Verse 2: Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man And I handed him my claims With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires They’d all gone up in flames   They reviewed my case and they had no choice But to pay me for what I’d done I took that check bought a whole new box And I smoked em one by one Instrumental:                    Verse 3: Two weeks later this detective shows up Tells me that company’s pressing charges One speedy trial later they locked me up On 24 seperate counts of arson And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall Looking back on what I’ve done To pass the time I’ve got some 10 cent cigars And I smoke em one by one Yeah I smoke em one by one Outro:      (x2)
