Cocaine

Every time me and my baby go uptown

Police come and they knock me down

Cocaine, run all around my brain

Yeah babe, come here quick

This old cocaine about to make me sick

Cocaine, run all around my brain

Ah, yonder comes my baby dressed in red

She's got a shotgun, says she's gonna kill me dead

Cocaine, run all around my brain

Ah, down is up and up is down

And believe to my soul I'm comin' down

Cocaine

You take Mary, I'll take Sue

Can't tell the difference 'twixt the two

Cocaine, run all around my brain

Some like 'em skinny, some like 'em round

Can't tell the difference, turn 'em upside down

You must try turnin' 'em upside down

Your woman says you ain't treatin' her right

Just take a snort of coke and turn out the light

Makes you feel like Superman

You don't believe me? Try jumping out a third story window

You may make it

I went to bed last night singing a song

Woke up this morning and my nose was gone

Imagine my embarrassment

Yeah, my mucus membrane is just a memory

Sometimes I think that coke is bad for me

Then I stop thinking

Walking down Beale Street, gonna turn on Main

Looking for a little gal that sells cocaine

Kill two birds with one stone

I reached in my pocket, grabbed my poke

Note in my pocket said, "No more coke, but come alive"

I'm gonna strike down in the bottling plant

Cocaine is for horses, not for men

They tell me it will kill me, but they won't say when

Cocaine, run all around my brain

Ah yeah, pretty baby, well, come here quick

This old cocaine 'bout to make me sick

Cocaine, run all around my brain
