Smokin' & Drinkin'

(アルバム： Soul Syndrome - 1980)

[James coughs]
Mhm, I need some Listerine!
My throat, choke it up
Gotta quit that smokin'!

Smoking and drinking
Will slow your thinking
Smoking and drinking
Is my way of life

Smoking and talking
Will have you choking
Smoking and talking
Won't make it right

Dipping and sipping
You're a waste of time
Dipping and sipping
You ain't my kind

Smoking and drinking
Will slow your thinking
Smoking and talking
Won't make it right

So you better stop, check it out
'Cause you've been smoking and drinking
For much too long
You got your mind messed up
You're moving too slow
And where was it, you wanted to go...?

You slip on a whip [?]
Say goodbye and die
Just a sniff or whiff
Your mind is really fried!

Smoking and drinking
Will slow your thinking
Smoking and coking
Won't make it right
(Ooh...)

Smoking and drinking
Will slow your thinking
Smoking and drinking
Is my way of life

Smoking and talking
Will have you choking
Smoking and talking
Won't make it right

So you better stop, check it out
'Cause you've been smoking and drinking
For much too long
You got your mind messed up
And you're moving too slow
And where was it, you wanted to go...?

Get down, uh!
Help me!
Make it, make it, make you food
Wow!
Save my daughter
Save me daughter, give me some water
Save me son, save me mother, save me brother
Save me daughter

Check, what your lungs [?] look inside, yeah
And tell them to help ya
We need help, we need help, we need help
We can't do it alone

(Gotta get it, gotta get it, gotta get it)
To stop smoking, I need help from my brotha
I need help from my motha
I need help from my sista, uh!

Gimme some water!
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme some water!
Thank you David, thank you David

Whoo!
Help me!
(Gotta get it, gotta get it, gotta get it)
Step it out, step it out, step it out
Step it, step it, stop this, step it out

My throat... [cough]
