Story Behind the Song
An ode to indulgence, though sober...
Lyrics
Tobacco & Tea, they're good for me
Well, not really-- but you know what I mean--Tobacco & tea, they help me think,
Give my mind a rest, I get it all off my chest...
Well I wake up feelin drunk and groggy
My eyelids are lead and my mind is foggy
So I roll out of bed and put on a kettle,
Light up a smoke and let the butterflies settle
As I infuse a sack of Earl Grey
I remember what Dr. Koop did say
Bout tobacco being a dangerous vice
I just puff and think, this sure tastes nice
Cos I'm wakin up with the last of my bad habits,
Thinkin earth is surely the best of planets
Where else can you enjoy such worldly treats,
Such as jasmine, and oolong, and Camel straights?
Well as the day goes by I get my wish,
With some licorice spice and a little cavendish--
I'm dressed to kill, and feeling dapper
As I smoke this churchill with the maduro wrapper
And I know nothin in life is free,
And I suspect this habit might be killin me,
But as I smoke, and sip, and get relaxed
I tend to forget the cold, hard facts
Cos I embarked on a spiritual path
Accepting grace, but not God's wrath
And I suspect that I might enjoy a stogie
Long when I'm a tired, old fogie...
