[Verse 1] I walked into this bar and the man refused He said, "We don't serve strangers in blue suede shoes We don't give credit and we don't give way We have to think about what the people might say You know what I mean?" I said, "Sure, man." [Verse 2] Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet And I offered him one of my cigarettes He took it, afraid that he might appear rude Then proceeded to sell me some second-class food Nice guy. Meet 'em everywhere [Verse 3] He said "My oh my, I have suffered too long And this cigarette seems to be very strong I don't make the rules, I just get what I take And I guess every rule was made to break You can take what you like, it won't hurt me 'Cause I'm just working for the company" From the green cigarette, he took a long drag And said "I think I'll pack my travelling bag I'm tired of cheating and wasting my head And filling the boss's bags with bread I want to get out in the sun and rain And feel the wind on my skin again The world is large and I've got time yet And by the way, thanks for that cigarette Thank you very much" [Outro] You know I feel like a new man Yes I do I don't know why I'd just like to say Thank you very much indeed It's a beautiful day I think I'll be on my way right away I'd like to say Thank you very much Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here Yes, I am Bye bye That's the end of the message Thank you very much Bye bye Yes, bye bye! Bye bye!
