Did you ever hear
About Cocaine Lil?
She lived in Cocaine town
On Cocaine hill.
She had a cocaine dog
and a cocaine cat.
They fought all day
with a cocaine rat.
There was Morphine Sue
And the Poppy Face Kid,
climbed up snow ladders
and down they slid.
There was Step Ladder Kit,
a good six feet
And the Sleigh Riding Sisters
who were hard to beat.
Lil went to a snow party
one cold night.
And the way she sniffed
was sure a fright.
There was Hophead Mac
and Dopey Slim.
Kamkakee Liz
and Yen Shee Jim
She had cocaine hair
on her cocaine head.
She had a cocaine dress
that was poppy red.
She wore a snowbird hat
and had sleigh riding clothes,
on her coat
was a crimson cocaine rose.
Big gold chariots
on the Milky Way,
Snakes and Elephants
silver and grey,
Oh the cocaine blues,
they make me sad.
Oh the cocaine blues,
they make me feel bad.
They laid her out
In her cocaine clothes:
she wore a snowbird hat
with a crimson rose:
On her headstone
you'll find this refrain:
"She died as she lived,
sniffing cocaine".
Alone in the morning
about half past three
they were all lit up
like a Christmas tree;
Lil got home
and started for bed,
took another sniff
and it knocked her dead.
