 "Nicholas!! Un, Albert!!   Look, I dunno where they are but I'd like, I'd like ya ta meet my two pals, my buddies, my two amigos. I'll tell you all about them."

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

Strange as it seems, I met in my dreams Nick Teen and Al K. Hall
Here's what they said to me "Use your head, you see"
"Your life is very, very dull"

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall 

So I said to Nick "Ah, Nick, tell me quick, now what should a fella do?" 
He said to me, "Boy, easy to see, boy"
"You should try a cigarette or two"

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all, oh-uh-oh
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

So I lit a fag and I took me a drag and then to my great surprise
I started to gasp and coughed like a rasp 
And ev'rything spun around before my eyes

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all, oh-uh-oh 
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

So I said to Al, "Uh, Al, be a pal, now whaddya really think?
He said to me "Boy, easy to see, boy, smokin's kid's stuff" 
"Pour yourself a drink"

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all 
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

So quick as a wink I took a drink, swigged a glassful down
Well first it seemed to hit me, then it turned around and it bit me
And everything went spinning all around

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all, oh-uh-oh
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

But here is the joke, when I awoke it wasn't finished yet
I noticed first a terrible thirst and then a craving for a cigarette

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all, oh-uh-oh
	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall

Take my advice that smokin' is nice and drinkin' is really lush
As you can see there's no change in me, I'm still pure as the driven slush!

	Well, I never gargled, I never gambled, I never smoked at all, oh-uh-oh	Until I met my two good amigos, Nick Teen and Al K. Hall


Nick Teen and Al K. Hall!!


TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: "gargled" is Australian slang for drinking.
