Cocaine Lil

(traditional - arrangment: Joe Dolce)

Did you ever hear about Cocaine Lil?
She lived in Cocaine town on Cocaine hill,
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
They fought all night with the cocaine rat.

She had cocaine hair on her cocaine head.
Cocaine lips that were poppy red:
A snowbird hat and sleigh-riding clothes,
In her heart she wore a cocaine rose.

Did you ever hear about Cocaine Lil?
She lived in Cocaine town on Cocaine hill,
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
They fought all night with the cocaine rat.

Purple haze on the Milky Way,
Snakes and elephants silver and gray.
Oh, the cocaine blues they make me sad,
The cocaine blues make me feel bad.

Well, they went to a snow party late one night,
And the way they sniffed was sure a fright.
There was Hophead Mag and Doped-Up Slim,
Morphine Sue and Ginseng Jim.

Along in the morning about half past three
They were all lit up like a Christmas tree;
Lil got home and started for bed,
She took another toke and it knocked her dead.

Well, they laid her out in her cocaine clothes:
She wore the snowbird hat and the crimson rose;
On her tombtone you can read the refrain:
She lived as she died, snorting cocaine

Did you ever hear about Cocaine Lil?
She lived in Cocaine town on Cocaine hill,
She had a cocaine dog and a cocaine cat,
They fought all night with the cocaine rat.
