I'm a two pack a day man, smoke like a fiend
Like a burned out bearing in a bad machine
I can't breath in the morning 'til l get myself a cigarette lit
I say, "Dad blame anything a man can't quit"

I'm a brand new newly-wed, married again
Nine times previous and this makes ten
I ought to be kicked so hard 'til l can hardly walk around or sit
I say, "Dad blame anything a man can't quit"

Still l keep it up, keep it up and do it all the time
Every now and then l make up my mind
To give it up, give it up, throw it away
I usually change my mind later on up in the day

I'm a two pack a day man, smoke like a fiend
Like a burned out bearing in a bad machine
I can't breath in the morning 'til l get myself a cigarette lit
I say, "Dad blame anything a man can't quit"
