Copenhagen Junkie

(album: Melodies And Memories - 1984)

Well I've never been afraid of much and never thought I need a crutch
To help me thru the trials of this life
But there's one thing I cant do with out and Copenhagens what I'm talking
About and I love it nearly as much as I love my wife
Now when I first started chewing I didn't know what I was doing
But I liked the way it helped me to relax
And a big ol' chew tastes might good just the way Copenhagen should
But when its gone I'm a slobbering maniac
I'm a Copenhagen junkie there's a big ol' hairy monkey on my back
And he just wont let me be
Cause when I run out of chewing know I'm on the road to ruin
Zes that Copenhagen's got a hold on me

I can go without a lot of things like sweet potatoes and butter beans
And you know if wouldn't really bother me at all
I can go without food for a couple of days but if you take my s'noose away
I'll be climbing like the spider up the wall
I'm a Copenhagen junkie...

Well I even tried to quit one time my knees got weak I sorta went blind
And my mellow disposition headed south
And I started eating like a big fat hog got wild got mean like a rabid dog and
Start frothing and foaming at the mouth
I'm a Copenhagen junkie...

Can I help you sir ah yeah do you got any Copenhagen
No Sir I'm afraid we're all out ah
I'm a Copenhagen junkie...
Ah Copenhagen it makes me feel so good
But when its gone boys I ain't feeling exactly the way I should
