Jethro Tull - A Small Cigar Lyrics
A small cigar can change the worldI know, Ive done it frequently at partiesWhere Ive won all the guests attentionWith my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearingA little flat tin case is all you needBreast-pocket conversation openerAnd one of those ciggie lighters that look rather goodYou can throw away when emptyMust be declared a great successMy small cigars all vanish within minutesExcuse me, mine host, that I may visitA nearby tobacconistTo replenish my supply of small cigarsAnd make the party swing againI know my clothes seem shabbyAnd dont fit this hampstead soireeWhere unread copies of rolling stoneWell-thumbed playboysDecorate the hi-fi stereo record shelvesIf you ask me theyre on their wayTo upper-middle-class oblivionThe stupid twits, they roll their onlyOne cigarette between themMy small cigars redundant nowIn the haze of smoking pleasureCall it a dayGet the hell awayGo down the cafeFor a cup of real teaBy the tube station, theres a drunk old foolWho sells papers in the rush hourI hand to him ten small cigarsHe smiles, says, ``son, God bless youA small cigarHas changed his world, my friendA small cigarHas changed the world againA small cigar . . .
