Kevin Ayers - The Lady Rachel lyrics
I walked into this bar
 and the man refused;
 He said, "We don't serve strangers
 in blue suede shoes; 
 We don't give credit, and
 We don't give way--
 We have to think about what the people might say..
 uh, you know what I mean..."
 I said, "Sure, man"
 Oh, he gave me a smile that was sickly and wet, 
 And I offered him one of my cigarettes.
 He took it, afraid that he might appear rude,
 Then proceeded to sell me some second class food.
 Nice guy - meet 'em everywhere.. .
 He said, "My oh my, I have suffered too long, 
 And this cigarette seems to be very strong; 
 I don't make the rules 
 I just get what I take
 And I guess every rule was made to break. 
 You can take what you like, it won't hurt me
 Cause I??m just working for the company."
 From the green cigarette, He took a long drag, Kevin Ayers - The Lady Rachel - http://motolyrics.com/kevin-ayers/the-lady-rachel-lyrics.html
 And said, "I think I'll pick my travelling bag.
 I??m tired of cheating, and wasting my head 
 And filling the boss's bags with bread. 
 I want to get out in the sun and rain, 
 And feel the wind on on skin again;
 The world is large, and I've got time yet. 
 And, by the way, thanks for that cigarette..
 Thank you very much."
 "You know, I feel like a new man
 Yes I do, I don't know why;
 I??d just like to say
 Thank you very much(indeed)
 It's a beautiful day
 I think I'll be on my way (right away)
 I'd just like to say
 Thank you very much.
 Yes, I'm getting the hell out of here
 Yes, I am - bye, bye.
 That's the end of the message
 Thank you very much.
 Bye bye...
