i need a cigarette
and you can bet
i ain't had one yet
but i'm sure a cigarette
i'll get

you see
cigarette's don't be
the problem for me
got
2 packs
here in my sacks
that i bought
but i ain't got nuthin' hot
if only i'd thought

Zippo's outta' fluid
cheap one's
are gone's
they just don't do it
all my matches are gone
too
so they just won't do
ever heard such a sad song
as a light gone wrong?

"i got a cigarit
just i don't have no light
guess i could try
the concrete
but why
it be that hot
but i think not
that just not be right"

i could go to the store
but what a bore
besides it's too hot
again, i think not
afterall, i got the cigarit
it' just the light that need to be

it's hell
i can tell
you
when ya' got the cigarette's
but no light
man, that just ain't right

but you can bet's
a cigarettes's i'll gets
never forgets
ingenuity
that be
my middle name
but all the same
"gotta' light
for me?"

ah! YES
i forgets.
the stove has a burner
a real hot churner
but i be a slow learner
the hotter it gets

GD
just burnt me
my mustache & beard
ever heard
of such a sight
even my nose
don't you know's
it now glows
and that ain't right
still ain't got a light

but at last
i got a light
for my cigarit...
there was always
the hot concrete

but what do i do
i ask you
when it's night
and i got the cigarit
but the concrete
is cold
man, that will grow old

guess i'll ask you agin'
begin where i began
ask it again...
" gotta' light?"

that stove thing
won't do
done seen what it bring
how about you?

"gotta' light tonight?"

then shine me one
that's so bright
'cause this poem be done
but, yeah gotta' light?
i'll need it later tonight
