(Verse 1)
I was sitting in a Cigar Lounge
With premium cigars all around.
Listening to conversations
About life's "Ups and Downs".
It occurred to me there's just three things.
In this old world more valuable by far.
That's "Old Dogs" and "Companions"
And a "Hand Rolled Cigar"

(Verse 2)
Dogs will care about you
Even if you don't feed them "Steaks."
God bless those who stand with you
No matter what it takes.
In times like this there's just one thing
That satisfies by far.
It's that "Old Fashioned Favorite",
A "Hand Rolled Cigar"

(Verse 3)
The "Tax" on cigars is a totally misguided
And "Poorly Thought-Out Plan"
Supposedly designed to keep cigars
Out of a "Minor's Hand"
I've been "Around the Block" many times,
And one thing is "Crystal Clear."
If you believe there's a "Surge of Cigar Smokin' Kids"
You "Deserve to be Kicked in the Rear".
Yes, I've seen it all during a long lifetime so far.
Now it's "Old Dogs, and Companions, and a Hand Rolled Cigar"
