Oh come on gal, don't you take me for no fool

Around your back door says honey I'll make my creep

Now Barnum Bailey Circus came to town
A7
They had a dancer looking good and brown
D7
They didn't know it was against the law
G
But the monkey stopped at a Fine drugstore
E7
Stepped around the corner just a minute too late
A7
Another one sitting there at the big back gate
G E7 A7 D7 G
I’m simply wild about my good cocaine
[Chorus 1]
E7 A7
I called my Cora, hey hey
D7
She come on sniffing with her nose all sore
G
The doctor's gone going to sell no more
E7
Say, run doctor, ring the bell
A7
The women in the alley
G E7 A7 D7 G
I’m simply wild about my good cocaine
[Verse 4]
E7 A7
Now the furniture man came to my house it was last Sunday morn
D7 G
He asked me was my wife at home and I told she has long been gone
E7 A7
He backed his wagon up to my door, took everything I had
G E7 A7 D7 G
He carried it back to the furniture store and I swear I did feel sad
[Verse 5]
E7 A7
What in the world has anyone got dealing with the furniture man?
D7 G
If you've got no dough, to stand up for sure, he certainly will drag you back
E7 A7
He will take everything from an earthly plant, from the skillet to a frying pan
G E7 A7 D7 G
If there ever was a devil born without any horns, it must have been the furniture man.
[Chorus 2]
E7 A7
I called my Cora, hey hey
D7
She come on sniffing with her nose all sore
G
Doctor swore gonna smell no more
E7
Saying coke's for horses not women or men
A7
The doctors say it'll kill you, but they didn't say when
G E7 A7 D7 G
I’m simply wild about my good cocaine
[Verse 6]
E7
Now the baby's in the cradle in New Orleans
A7
it kept a-whipping till it got so mean
D7
It kept a-whipping had to fix it so
G
The joke with laughter, fell on more
E7
Saying, run doctor, ring the bell
A7
The women in the alley
G E7 A7 D7 G
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
[Chorus 3]
E7 A7
I called my Cora, hey hey
D7
She come on sniffing with her nose all sore
G
The doctor swore she's gonna smell no more
E7
Saying, run doctor, ring the bell
A7
The women in the alley
G E7 A7 D7 G
I'm simply wild about my good cocaine
