Well I'm a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I can't afford em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
Just to be safe I insured em
I took out a policy against fire and theft
Then I hurried on home
With a 50 cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked em one by one
Verse 2:
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed him my claims
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
They'd all gone up in flames
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what I'd done
I took that check bought a whole new box
And I smoked em one by one
Instrumental: C G D D C G A
Verse 3:
Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that company's pressing charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On 24 seperate counts of arson
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Looking back on what I've done
To pass the time I've got some 10 cent cigars
And I smoke em one by one
Yeah I smoke em one by one
