Pack a Day
(to be read out loud
as fast as you can)
Pack a Day
Pack it up today
Pack it in today
Soon as I was born
I was puffin' away
Salems?
I'd Inhalem...
Knocking down
Marlboros
Like tombstones
In a foot race with air
I didn't care...
I can breathe when I'm dead...
Wait...no I can't
But that movie star
president sold me
Chesterfields
When I was just three
Gave 'em as a Xmas present
Didn't even card me
Stole them from my folks
for a smoke in the woods
And only YOU
can prevent forest fires...
That Bear still scares
The hell out of me
Everyone smelled like
A conflagration back then
When I was a
Nicoteenager
You need an extra lung
To smoke the extra longs
You need an extra lung
To smoke the extra longs
You need an extra lung
To smoke the extra longs
Kool baby
Play it cool
Will that be a lung
Or a liver
Fight as you might
It still delivers
Is that what they call
A Lung Transplantation?
Uncle called for
Philip Morris
Right after they removed
his kidney
Somewhere R.J. Reynolds
Is laughing
Til he wets his pants...
It will persist
I will resist
I'm just one smoke away
From another pack a day
Just one smoke away
another from ten thousand
Stitch my lips shut
Induce a coma
So I won't smell
that tobaccaroma
Would you prefer
regular...
(insert burst of smoker's hack)
...or menthol?

Are you paying over $5 / pack of cigs? I'm buying all my cigs from Duty Free Depot and this saves me over 60% on cigs.
