[Verse 1]
Caution can be harmful to your heart and to your health
You can never be quite sure so find out for yourself
One more silly millimeter more to Forest Lawn
Well it doesn't taste just like it should
And your cough will soon be gone
But when your bass player's flat and your drummer drags
I bet you wish you had a fag

[Verse 2]
Take the country out of town
But don't tattoo your throat
Coffin nails have pounded you
Might just have missed the boat
Save the coupons, walk a mile
Your lungs are getting tanned
Well nothing else that you can use is legal on the stand
When your bass player's flat and your drummer drags
I bet you wish you had a fag

[Verse 1]
Caution can be harmful to your heart and to your health
You can never be quite sure so find out for yourself
'Cause when your bass player's flat and your drummer drags
I bet you wish you had a fag
I wish you had a fag
Whoa a long, skinny one to smoke alone
Whoa whoa whoa oh oh oh oh
Take it easy, take it easy
You got to take it easy
