Cigarette Lyrics - Tom Scullin

"CHORUS" 

Give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Just give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Please give me the time I need to forget 

Well I've been down the tubes 

once or twice 

and I've got to say 

it wasn't very nice 

so give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

"CHORUS" 

Just Give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Just give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Please give me the time I need to forget 

Well somebody's gone 

and taken my piece of pie 

then turned around 

and stuck it in my eye 

I guess that's what I get for being such a stupid guy 

"CHORUS" 

So Give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Just give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Please give me the time I need to forget 

Well I don't know 

what I am gonna do 

I played my trump card 

on the likes of you 

And now all I have in the world is my cigarette 

"CHORUS" 

So Give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Just give me a chance to finish my cigarette 

Please give me the time I need to forget
