Cocain

Did you hear a story about Cocain Lill?

She had a cocain house on cocain hill

She had a cocain dog and a cocain cat

She even had a cocain rat

And it's all round my brain.

Been walking around 10th street and Main

I've been looking for a girlie to give me cocain

Cocain sure running round my brain

Been strolling round 10th street and Main

Been looking for someone to give me cocain

Cocain, sure running round my brain.

Well, Cocain Lill and Morphine Sue

They've been strolling down the avenue, two by two

Says Lill to Sue, It's gonna do no harm

If we both have a little old shot in the arm

And it's all round my veins, oh cocain.

Doctor tell me again and again

He says, cocain's forces ain't for men

Cocain sure running round my brain

You know the doctor tells me, tells me again and again

He says, cocain will kill you son, it won't say when

Cocain sure running round my brain.

There's this story about Cocain Lill

She had a cocain house on cocain hill

She had a cocain dog and a cocain cat

She even had a cocain rat

And it's all round my brain.

Yonder's baby, she's dressed in white

I said, Hey now mama, gonna stay all night

Cocain's sure running round my brain

Now there runs my baby, she's all dressed in black

You said, You know I didn't mean it, won't you please come back?

Cocain's sure running round my brain.

Hey baby, please come quick

This old cocain's making me sick

Cocain sure running round my brain.
