Lyrics

As kids have grown up parties, all our fathers and our mothers
Had a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
when it came to lungs and livers well they just could not be bothered
A cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
It was the best of times the worst of times but if I had my druthers
I’d have a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
Far from the eyes of mothers and our sisters and our brothers
Had a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
A cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
Li li li li li
What comes for us we can’t outrun
Li li li
We can gather dust or we can have some fun
Li li li li li
What comes for us we can’t outrun
Li li li
We can gather dust or we can get things done (oh yeah)
As kids have grown up parties, all our fathers and our mothers
Had a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
When on our deathbeds someday and you pull down the covers
They’ll be a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
Cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
Cigarette in one hand and a cocktail in the other
