Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anti-smoking songs
There was a song [My Last Cigarette] on the wireless circa 1961 I think sung by Miriam Karlin. I remember bits....
Tobacco, tobacco, I hate you I do.
Like Venus I'd look if it wasn't for you;
But I'll give up the habit; I will even yet
When I've had just one more cigarette.
I'll fling the packet away, away.
Fifty times in a week I say
Fling the packet away, away,
When I've had just one more cigarette.
Under my eyes are a couple of bags.
I blame it all on to a packet of fags,
But I'll give up...etc.
There was much choking and painful coughing.
