A tune called Chesterfield.

I was walking down the street just the other day
Looking for myself a Chesterfield
I saw me a friendly looking passerby
And I thought I might try to pawn one off of him
I looked him in the eye said hi
All he said was me oh me oh my
He said, A Chesterfield these days is mighty hard to find


I said I know what you mean brother
But I was bound and determined to get myself a Chesterfield
So I walked on down the road and lo and behold I ran into one of my old high school buddies
I said Howdy Joe, whatcha know All he said was meanie meany miney moe

(chorus)
A Chesterfield these days so hard to find
Smoke one in the morning and one at night
Choke that dope don't hold it too tight
Chesterfield these days so hard to find


I said now Joe tell me what's new with you these days
and he said Well I got married just the other day
I said, That so? He said That's so.
Just then his young wife Martha came walking down the street
She said "Hey fellas what are you doing downtown?
Been looking for Chesterfields but they cannot be found."

chorus

Now friends I'm getting mighty sick and tired of this nonsense by now
Looking for myself a Chesterfield
So I thought I 'd call up the President, Mr. Franklin D Roosevelt
See if he could help me out
I said "Howdy Mr. President How's the White House and the country getting along
And he said fine John, but there's just one thing wrong...."

chorus
