Now smoking has gone through many stages
in the history of the blue/green planet,
and now tis judged so harshly and sore
that if you smoke you are forced to can it
The indigenous tribes around the world smoke,
they commune and discuss over pipes and cigarettes,
and think not of their health but of friendly joke
and laughter amongst the camp smoke and their pets.
From New Guinea to Peru and across to Africa,
the pipes are carved with skill and love
and fulfill a tradition of peaceful communication, ah
what non judgemental atmosphere is found above.
For with their smoking customs they commune to the drum
and watch the smoke rise at night towards the stars,
from whence they claim they once did come
and all is peaceful in the desert as they salute Venus and Mars.
Now we in the west have lost the plot and condemned
the habit of smoking and enjotying these same traditions,
our tobacco companies change the pure leaf no end
and you will die if you smoke and make dirty emmissions.
Smoking should be of a person's free choice and desire,
and be regarded as custom sharing during communication,
light up, drawback and puff out around the campfire
and join the peace makers of every earthly nation.

Of all the pubs in all the world, you had to enter mine
I Won't permit your passive smoke
It makes my patrons gag and choke
I am in a cloudy room.
It is full of smoke.
Everyone is puffing cigarettes.
I hear someone begin to choke.
They inhale each
Pretty, little, tightly packed cylindrical object of joy,
Though everyone says you're bad for me, let's face it, I'm your
