The Lyrics
Gizza smoke!
Her fingers are stained, her teeth are yellow
Her hair is lifeless, her skin is sallow
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh
A cloud of smoke drifts low above her
as she stops to light another
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh
The girl with emphysema keeps smoking
While everyone around her is choking
And as she passes
The pile of ashes
just grows
Ooh and I know that it's tacky,
To mention she nicked all my baccy.
My lighter and my Rizlas too
disappeared when she went to the loo
Coughs and splutters, chokes and sneezes.
With every breath in strangled wheezes
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh
Her hair is lifeless, her skin is sallow
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh
A cloud of smoke drifts low above her
as she stops to light another
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh
The girl with emphysema keeps smoking
While everyone around her is choking
And as she passes
The pile of ashes
just grows
Ooh and I know that it's tacky,
To mention she nicked all my baccy.
My lighter and my Rizlas too
disappeared when she went to the loo
Coughs and splutters, chokes and sneezes.
With every breath in strangled wheezes
And as she passes
Each one she gasses
goes… aargh

Stage 5 parody.

(SOTM) Let me light you up with 555.
(SOTM) Shouldn't this parody be sung by Weezer. lol Nice work
ah memories of grandma. great parody 555
SOTM-Good
SOTM - A TOS one can live through, barely! :-)
Thought I'd commented on this one first time around - brilliant title sub, well-executed :-D
(SOTM) Especially clever since " Ipanema " sounds like a disease, too!
(SOTM) Like a breath of fresh air. Wonderful.
(SOTM) Well, I've said in the past I am not a smoker and don't understand why anyone knowing the risks and everything involved would smoke. I thought this parody had a very good point. . .I obviously found it more serious than funny, but a good parody nonetheless.
SOTM - It's not too funny, more disturbing, but a good point. 5-4-5
(SOTM) wow, what a title sub! - very well executed idea, Colin - this is your first comp, no? - great to see a newbie getting in and under - 555
(SOTM) Brilliant title sub and great parody, and funny too. Rizlas? You're smoking some of that special stuff, eh? =)
SOTM - I think I've seen many people like her in the city. Seems like every other person in SF smokes.
