  F             C
My name is Seymour Green

      C
I'm an honest business man

 F             C
I make First Rate Smokes

      C
From a warehouse in my van

F            C
I've had some troubles

C
With the EPA  

  F              C
I change my company name

C
Every other day

  F        C
I hire out workers

       C
From Kentucky factories

    F              C
Who spend their days working for

      C               
R.J. Reynolds Industries

    F             C
They find me in the parking lot

        C
When the factory whistle blows

      F            C
And we roll up all the tobacco

         C
That gets stuck between their toes
Chorus
F            C
Take off your shoes

     C
It's time to go to work

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

F            C
Take off your socks

     C
Start scraping those nails

     F  C
If the ATF discovers us

     C
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
