can i smoke in here?

Singer:cooder, ry

can i smoke in here can i sit down

am i bothering you are you alone

is my tie on straight do you rate me polite

do i need a shave do i seem all right

names don't matter mine's kash buk no it's true

go ahead laugh it's good for you

what's that you're drinking i like your smile you know

hey mister bartender please don't be so slow

i think we got a lot in common

that's my brand wouldn't trade it for the world

we're about the same age on the outside

inside i'm a thousand years old

is this your room i can't do 60 like once i could

bet you didn't know i was that hot

you didn't know i was that good

you got nothing to fear can i smoke in here

steel player friend of mine lived right down the half

these walls are thin nobody heard him fall

last of the best without a shadow a doubt

hi-lo shag's the last thing he saw before it all faded out

what's that you say 'life is like a low budget movie'

slow down there honey' you lost me that time

'we all took less then it closed'

truest thing you said all night that's a laugh

you can write it on my epitaph

see you in heaven or next time which ever's first

i ain't usda prime god knows you seen worse

just tell saint peter at the golden gate

i won't be late but let me get it straight

can i get a beer can i smoke in here
