Well Im a sucker for fine Cuban cigars
The problem is I cant afford em
But last year I went and got myself a whole box
And just to be safe I insured em
I took out a policy against fire and theft
And then I hurried home
With a thirty-cent lighter I sat on my back steps
And I smoked em one by one
Two weeks later I went to see that insurance man
And I handed in my claim
With a straight face I told him that through a series of small fires
Theyd all gone up in flames
They reviewed my case and they had no choice
But to pay me for what Id done
And I took that check and bought a whole new box
And I smoked em one by one
Two weeks later this detective shows up
Tells me that companys pressin charges
One speedy trial later they locked me up
On twenty-four separate counts of arson
And now I sit and I stare at a blank brick wall
Lookin back on what Ive done
To pass the time Ive got some ten-cent cigars
And I smoke em one by one
Yeah, I smoke em one by one
