TALKING CANCER BLUES– Dave Van Ronk I was sitting in the back yard sucking a Good Humor Along comes a Doc, says my wife has a tumor And it was malignant Now the AMA and the medical hires They don't agree with Liggett & Meyers They say smoking is bad for you It'll give you cancer Hell of a cough, too Well, there is cancer of the liver; there is cancer of the lung Cancer of the lip, the throat, the tongue There's 17 malignant tumors in one filter tip king size Light up Well, a cigarette was needed that was relatively clean They come out with filters, no tars or nicotine Pretty low on sales too All that research gone to waste No harmful ingredients, no cigarette taste Well, the companies panicked, they had to find the answer They increased the tobacco strain Everybody's getting cancer Look what I got free with these cigarette coupons A chest X-ray Well, the hashish interest in Mexico Has found a way to redouble their dough They got a weed has no tars so they say Let's all get the habit, marijuana's here to stay So if you want a treat and you don't mind the treatment Smoke pot! That's a thinking man's cigarette
