Текст песни Talking Cancer Blues (Dave Van Ronk) с переводом

I was sitting in the back yard sucking on a Good Humor

Along comes a Doc, says my wife has a tumor

And it was malignant

Now the AMA and the medical highers

They don’t agree with Liggette & Meyers

They say smoking is bad for you

Hell of a cough, too

Well, there is cancer of the liver; there is cancer of the lung

Cancer of the lip, the throat, the tongue

There’s 17 malignant tumors in one filter tip king size

Now light up

Well, a cigarette was needed that was relatively clean

They come out with filters, low tar & nicotine

All that research gone to waste

No harmful ingredient, no cigarette taste

Well, the companies panicked, they had to find an answer

They increased the tobacco strain and everybody’s getting cancer

Look what I got free with these cigarette coupons

A chest X-ray

Well, the hashish interest in Mexico

Has found a way to redouble their dough

Let’s all get the habit, marijuana’s here to stay

So if you want a treat and you don’t mind the treatment

Smoke pot! It’s the thinking man’s cigarette
