Lyrics
I walked into this bar And the man refused; He said, "we don't serve strangers In blue suede shoes; We don't give credit, and We don't give way-- We have to think about what the people might say. Uh, you know what I mean..." I said, "sure, man"
Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet And I offered him one of my cigarettes He took it, afraid that he might appear rude Then proceeded to sell me some second class food Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere..
He said, "my oh my, I have suffered too long And this cigarette seems to be very strong; I don't make the rules I just get what I take And I guess every rule was made to break You can take what you like, it won't hurt me Cause i'm just working for the company." From the green cigarette, he took a long drag And said, "i think I'll pick my travelling bag
I'm tired of cheating, and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread I want to get out in the sun and rain And feel the wind on on skin again; The world is large, and I've got time yet And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette. Thank you very much."
"You know, I feel like a new man Yes I do, I don't know why; I'd just like to say Thank you very much(indeed) It's a beautiful day I think I'll be on my way (right away) I'd just like to say Thank you very much Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here Yes, I am - bye, bye That's the end of the message Thank you very much Bye bye..
