A Small Cigar Lyrics - Nightcap - Jethro Tull

A small cigar can change the world 

I know, I've done it frequently at parties 

Where I've won all the guests' attention 

With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing 

A little flat tin case is all you need 

Breast-pocket conversation opener 

And one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good 

You can throw away when empty 

Must be declared a great success 

My small cigars all vanish within minutes 

Excuse me, mine host, that I may visit 

A nearby tobacconist 

To replenish my supply of small cigars 

And make the party swing again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I know my clothes seem shabby 

And don't fit this Hampstead soiree 

Where unread copies of Rolling Stone 

Well-thumbed Playboys 

Decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves 

If you ask me they're on their way 

To upper-middle-class oblivion 

The stupid twits, they roll their only 

One cigarette between them 

My small cigar's redundant now 

In the haze of smoking pleasure 

Call it a day 

Get the hell away 

Go down the cafe 

For a cup of real tea 

Photos 

By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool 

Who sells papers in the rush hour 

I hand to him ten small cigars 

He smiles, says, Son, God bless you 

A small cigar 

Has changed his world, my friend 

A small cigar 

Has changed the world again 

A small cigar . . .
