Dedicated to Coach King's Health Class 09'

I had a little itch, so I went to the store.
I had $3.75, but cigarettes cost more!
I didn't know what to do, so I acted like a bum.
I asked the store clerk if I could just buy one.
If I let you buy one then you will ask for two,
don't you know that cigarettes could be the death of you?
I said I did not care; saw a gleam from over there,
I found a quarter shining, enough to buy the squares.
"Gimme a pack of Kools, mentholated please".
As the cig was put into my mouth, fire met tobacco leaves.
My lungs filled up with smoke and chemicals galore,
I did this for a year or so as I was walking from the store.
As I continued smoking my body began to feel strange.
And don't forget to mention its harder to find spare change.
I find myself still walking, but to the doctor instead.
It's probably because these cigarettes have made me cough up red.
I looked up at the doctor as he looked back at me,
he said you have to quit smoking or you will wind up R.I.P.
A man that kept on smoking with four dollars gripping tight.
How much is in your hand and will you spend it right?
