Jim Dixon	Lyr Req: Anti-smoking songs (138* d)	Lyr Add: DAD BLAME ANYTHING A MAN CAN’T QUIT	30 Mar 23
You can hear this at YouTube. DAD BLAME ANYTHING A MAN CAN’T QUIT As recorded by Roger Miller on “Words and Music,” 1966. [1] I’m a two-pack-a-day man; I smoke like a fiend, Like a burned-out bearin’ in a bad machine. I can’t breathe in the mornin’ till I get myself a cigarette lit. I say: “Dad* blame anything a man* can’t quit.” [2] I’m a brand-new newlywed, married again: Nine times previous and this makes ten. I ought to be kicked so hard till I can hardly walk around or sit. I say: “Dad* blame anything a man can’t quit.” [3] Still, I keep it up, keep it up, and do it all the time. Ev’ry now and then I make up my mind To give it up, give it up, throw it away. I us’ly change my mind later on up in the day. [Repeat 1, 3, 1, then scat.] - - - * He sings “Dad” as 3 syllables/notes: “Da-ha-had.”—and the first time he sings “man,” it has 2 syllables: “ma-han.” Roger Miller died in 1972 of lung and throat cancer.
