  C             D
My name is Seymour Green

      G
I'm an honest business man

 C             D
I make First Rate Smokes

From a warehouse in my van

C            D
I've had some troubles

With the EPA  

  C              D

Every other day

  C        D
I hire out workers

       G
From Kentucky factories

Who spend their days working for

      G               
R.J. Reynolds Industries

    C             D
They find me in the parking lot

When the factory whistle blows

And we roll up all the tobacco

         G
That gets stuck between their toes

Take off your shoes

It's time to go to work

It's 3am and we're setting up shop

Start scraping those nails

     C  D
If the ATF discovers us

     G
It's GPCs from jail

VERSE 2 I'm in cahoots with some Canucks Just above the borderline They package all my products With cute logos and designs I distribute to truck stops And small town liquor stores They buy cases of cartons And call me up for more VERSE 3 Thrifty smokers don't mind Where their cigarettes are from All they really want Is smoke and tar in their lungs So if you ever buy a pack Of First Rate Smokes You know the tar won't kill you But the smell will make you choke
