I walked into this bar and the man refused
He said we dont serve strangers in blue suede shoes
We dont give credit, and we dont give way
We have to think about what the people might say
Uh, you know what I mean I said Yes I Do
He gave me a smile that was sickly and wet
And I offered him one of my cigarettes
He took it, afraid that he might appear rude
Then proceeded to sell me some second class food
Nice guy - meet em everywhere
He said, my oh my, I have suffered too long
And this cigarette seems to be very strong
I dont make the rules, I get what I take
And I guess every rule was made to break
You can take what you like, it wont hurt me
Cause Im just working for the company
From the green cigarette, he took a long drag
And said, I think Ill pack my traveling bag
Im tired of cheating, and wasting my head
And filling the bosss bags with bread.
I want to get out in the sun and rain,
And feel the wind on on skin again;
The world is large, and Ive got time yet.
And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
Thank you very much.
You know, I feel like a new man
Yes I do, I dont know why;
Id just like to say
Thank you very much(indeed)
Its a beautiful day
I think Ill be on my way (right away)
Id just like to say
Thank you very much.
Yes, Im getting the hell out of here
Yes, I am - bye, bye.
Thats the end of the message
Thank you very much.
Bye bye...
