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 And just to be safe I insured em Chorus I took out a policy against fire and theft And then I hurried home With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps And I smoked em one by one Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man And I handed in my claim With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires They d all gone up in flames 2nd Chorus They reviewed my case and they had no choice But to pay me for what I d done And I took that check and bought a whole new box And I smoked em one by one Two weeks later this detective shows up Tells me that company s pressin charges One speedy trial later they locked me up On twenty-four separate counts of arson 3rd Chorus And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall Lookin back on what I ve done To pass the time I ve got some ten-cent cigars And I smoke em one by one Yeah
I smoke em one by one |
