And if chewing gum is chewed The chewer is pursued And the smoker is pursued In the Plaza Hotel with an army of aristo-men Antidotes and dozy doats [ ] Antidotes and dozy doats And dozy doats I saw an evil laugh in the Plaza, yes And the chair in the mirror Comes over and over And I met an evil laugh And what the fuck is on the continents of Australia and America and Arabia? Ah [ ] Antidotes and dozy doats Antidotes [ ] Have you got And I'm moving down the train over and over and over again And the cost of tobacco is chewed The chewer is pursued I'm walking round the street again and again and again And you're sat in your chair pleased In the mirrors looking at you From antidotes and [ ] Antidotes and dozy doats Antidotes and dozy doats Antidotes Antidotes And cooking anecdotes Antidotes And the chewing gum is chewed The chewer is pursued And smoking is forbidden again and again and again and again And the better knew that God is meek
