THE NON-SMOKER’S LIBERATION FRONT ANTHEM
Words and music by Don Lange.
As recorded by [Doug] Freeman & [Don] Lange on “Freeman & Lange,” Flying Fish #011, 1975.

Keep on smokin’ that cigarette, you crazy fool.
Keep on suckin’ that Salem, blow a Camel, kiss a Kool.
You’re a man of distinction, a guy with real charm,
But your breath smells worse than your underarm.
Keep on smokin’ that cigarette, you crazy fool.

Why should you give a damn about cancer? We all got to go sometime.
It’s OK for you to ruin your lungs, but why won’t you spare me mine?
That factory on the corner, it’s pollutin’ the air,
But you can’t smell it, so why the hell should you care?
You just keep on smokin’ that cigarette, you crazy fool.

Keep on doin’ your consumin’ best for the good old USA.
Keep those black folk workin’ in the fields, drawin’ a dollar a day.
Our American Tobacco Co. and Liggett & Myers,
They’re all good men, so baby, light your fire,
And keep on smokin’ that cigarette, you crazy fool.

[Spoken:] Now, if we ask you kindly not to smoke, please don’t think that we’re mean.
Every mother knows that suckling babes eventually must be weaned.
[Sung:] Before your next nicci*-fit, take a stick of dried beef.
You can chew it, you can suck it, and it won’t stain your teeth.
Oh, you can keep on smokin’ that cigarette, you crazy fool.
I mean to tell you—
You’re a crazy—
...
You’re a crazy fool.
