The tooth fairy's not real, nor is the Easter Bunny It's your Mummy and Daddy who cough up the money And Santa Claus with his red coat and sackful of gifts He's just a fable, a fabrication, a myth
Now take the cigarette monster, huge and alarming Many believe him to be, but he's actually quite charming Once you get to know him, behind his fierce, brutish features He's really the most amiable of creatures
But there are many who believe with an unswaying fervour If you don't smoke a cigarette, he will commit murder So they keep smoking constantly all through each and every day And sadly don't realise that he just wants to play Alessandra Liverani, 2003
