Will It All End in Smoke?



[Verse]
 * To be near her I'm here each day,
 * And all my cash I pay,
 * For cigarettes, although they make my poor head ache,
 * But that's a sacrifice I make only for her sake,


 * I hate to smoke, But still I try,
 * And worship at her shrine,
 * Kind fortune say will she decline or yet be mine?


 * Oh tell me
 * tell me
 * tell me
 * pray.

[Refrain]
 * Dame Nicotine,
 * Pray intervene,
 * For an unfortunate lover,
 * What do these smoke rings mean?


 * Lightly above me they hover,
 * Are they a sign shes [sic] to be mine?
 * Or is my love but a joke?
 * Will it all end in smoke?
 * Will it all end in smoke?


 * She'll be here soon,
 * Now what shall I say to her?

[Verse]
 * (Very bold.) I'll Say "Good-day!" In gaunty way,
 * I'll smile, I'll joke, Be gay,
 * I'll take her hand and look quite boldly in her eyes,
 * And say "I love you with a love that the world defies,"


 * Oh no, I won't, When she's in sight,
 * I grow quite cold with fright,
 * My nerves and courage always seem to leave me quite.


 * To tell her
 * tell her
 * tell her
 * all.

[Refrain]
 * Dame Nicotine,
 * Pray intervene,
 * For an unfortunate lover,
 * What do these smoke rings mean?


 * Lightly above me they hover,
 * Are they a sign shes [sic] to be mine?
 * Or is my love but a joke?
 * Will it all end in smoke?
 * Will it all end in smoke.
