The Memphis Jug Band recorded 'Cocaine Habit Blues' in 1930. The refrain is Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

They are not praising cocaine.


Cocaine habit's mighty bad.
It's the worst old habit that I ever had.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

I went to Mr Beaman's in a lope.
Saw a sign on the window says no more dope.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

If you don't believe cocaine is good,
Ask Alma Rose at Minglewood.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

I love my whiskey, and I love my gin,
But the way I love my coke is a doggone sin.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

[instrumental break]

Since cocaine went out of style,
You can catch 'em shootin' needles all the while.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.

It takes a little coke to give me ease.
Strut your stuff long as you please.
Hey, hey, honey, take a whiff on me.
