Say no to drugs

When you smoke
It is no joke
Smoking turns your lungs black
and causes you to hack
If you go ahead and smoke
You are going to croak
If you smoke pot
Your brain will rot
When you drink beer
You don't think clear
If you take a drug
You'll turn in to a slug
When you get high
You will try to fly
And you will die.
So if you go to a party
Be a smarty
Listen to my voice
And make the right choice.
If you never drink and drive
You will have a good chance
Of staying alive.
