Intro

Verse 1

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

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
