The Sniffing Song

I know a girl named Cocaine Lil
She lived in a house on Cocaine hill,
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
Who chased around the house with a cocaine rat.

Won't you have a little (sniff) on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (sniff) on me?

I know a girl who sniffs all the time
She'll (sniff) for a nickel
She'll (sniff) for a dime
But she works here in town and doesn't eat at all
So she gives it away at the USO.

Won't you have a little (sniff) on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (sniff) on me?

Some folks think necking's a sin
Now let me tell you just how necking began
Adam necked Eve til she became a mother
And ever since then we've been necking each other.

Won't you have a little (sniff) on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (sniff) on me?

Two little skunks were playing gin
He skunked her and she skunked him
They went to church as good skunks do
The preacher mad'em sit in their own pew.

Won't you have a little (sniff) on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (sniff) on me?

I've got a dog as cute as it can be
He sniffs on the grass and he sniffs on the tree
But the little girl dogs think him too bold
And they all run away because his nose is cold.

Won't you have a little (sniff) on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (sniff) on me?

I saw a bird who flew through the door.
He (umped) on the table and he (umped) on the floor.
He (umped) on the coffee and he (umped) on the tea
If I hadn't been running he'd of (umped) on me.


Won't you have a little sniff on me, on me?
Won't you have a little (snniiiiiiiiifff) on me?

A version of "Cocaine Bill & Morphine Sue" performed by Reta Ray.
The tune is The Bluetail Fly. It has the "Little Fly (Flew into the
Grocery Store)" verses.
