END of ME OLD CIGAR
Asb Roy Hudd W/m Harry Champion

D                                               G
One night after closing time the landlord of the "Star",
A7 D
Presented me with a nine-penny cigar,
G
I smoked it until Easter time like one of the la-di-dah,
A7 D
Now everybody knows me by the end of me old cigar

Chorus
A7 D G
The end of me old cigar, Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la,
A7 D
Now everybody knows me by the end of me old cigar,
One morning after breakfast, into my surgery,
Came a girl with a vaccination plea,
"Vaccinate me doctor, but please don't leave a scar",
So I vaccinated Gertie, With the end of me old cigar, ..... Chorus

One afternoon 'round tea time, at a grand n party grand,
My wife and me were a-shakin' of every hand,
She was carrying on a bit, going rather far,
But I was doing a trade of me own, With the end of me old cigar, ..... Chorus

One evening after supper whilst strolling in the park,
I came upon a lady, it was getting rather dark,
Says she "Can you direct me , I've wandered rather far"
So I takes a puff and shows her the way, with the end of me old cigar, ..... Chorus
