I came to this country without a passport
And ever since then I’ve been hunted and sought
My little white grains are nothin’ but waste
Soft, deadly and bitter to taste
But I’m a world of power and all know it’s true
Baby Just Use me once and you’ll know it, too
I can make a mere schoolboy forget his books
Make a world-famous beauty neglect her looks
Take that … nice sweet young thing
Turn her out and make her into an old hag
Send her down to Lexington Avenue
For the price of a bag
I can make a world famous horn man
Forget his last lick
Sell his axe to a Jew
For the price of a fix
Some say that my invention
Is a joy and a thrill
But baby I’m gonna put a gun in your hand
And I’m gonna make you kill
So be you White, Jewish or Black or Brown or Mex
I can make the most virile of men forget their sex
Please, Please, well fellas you know I can’t take no more
But baby I’m shakin’
You know I’m breakin’
I can’t take one more minute
But baby, my heart just ain’t in it
Its too much … please
So now my man, you must do your best
To keep up your habit until your arrest
But now the police have taken you from under my wing
But do you think they dare defy me?
I who am king
So squirm, with discomfort, baby wiggle and cough
Six days of madness, baby you might throw me off
I can hear you curse me in name
Don’t you think that I know you defy me in speech
Baby you know as well as me
You’d pick me up right now if I was only in your reach
All through your sentence you’ve become resolved to your fate
But hear now young man and woman
You know I’m gonna be waitin’ at the gate
So please please don’t you be afraid
But baby you know I’m not chased
Sure my name is her#in
And I know your gonna come back to me
Your gonna come back to me back for a taste
