COCAINE LIL



Did you ever hear about Cocaine Lil?

She lived in a house on Cocaine Hill.

She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,

And they fought all night with a cocaine rat.



She had cocaine hair on her cocaine head.

She had a cocaine dress, that was poppy red;

But the cocaine-blues, they made her sad

Oh those cocaine-blues made her feel so bad.



She went to a snow party, one cold night

The way she sniffed, it was a fright.

There was Hophead Mag, with Dopey Slim

Kankakee Liz and Yen-She Jim.

Along in the morning, 'bout half-past three

They were all lit up like a Christmas tree.

Lil went home and started for bed,

She took another sniff, and it knocked her dead.



They laid her out in her cocaine clothes

She wore a snow-bird hat with a crimsen rose

And they wrote on her tombstone this refrain:

"She died as she lived, sniffing cocaine"
