First Line: Your motions all are sweet and full of grace
Last Line: And yet I wish, my dear, you didn't smoke.
Subject(s): Smoking; Tobacco; Pipes; Cigars; Cigarettes
YOUR motions all are sweet and full of grace
As daintily you roll your cigarette;
You smoke it with a pretty puckered face
That I, a mortal man, can ne'er forget.
It's jolly fun when you adopt our sins;
Pray never fear of being thought a "poke."
Your every mood sincerest worship wins,
And yet I wish, my dear, you didn't smoke.
