The Lyrics

From the Soundtrack of the movie, "Gigi"...end lyric in {brackets} is additional to match musical "exclamation point", no OS lyric.
[1st section is sung very rapidly to Leslie Caron's part]

They say the cause of death was cocaine
popped a vein inside of his brain
cardiac arrest did happen
that was all for this here chap, then

[to "Grandmama's" part]

Oh-Dee'd, just took too much
of that "Magic Dust"

[Caron's part again]

He never anticipated
that he was to be ill-fated
all those toxins in his system
finally, it seems dismissed him

[to "Grandmama's" short scold of "Gigi"]

Deceased; now he's interred
No longer of this world

[to Louis Jourdan' s part]

He is on the slab there
He's all gush and ooze
Now he's lying dead there
Cocaine; you should not abuse
Oh-no-no-no

[rest of song to the title line pace and notes]

The night I OD'd on cocaine
my face was turning blue
at that point I was screwed

I watched my life go down the drain
The paramedics knew
could tell that I was through
I'd gotten too high on cocaine
I had consumed an overdose
I'd snorted a whole gram
my liver turned to spam
my head just turned to jelly
went too far...
that...bites

The night I OD'd on cocaine
I took too big a sniff
and now I am a stiff
A wave of blood flooded my brain
How was I to suppose
some vein there would explode
and cause me to die in great pain
That powder; it turned out my lights
Grim reaper did appear
he said, "Your time is here
You're dead; you are not napping
stopped your heart...
you...died!

{Good-bye!}
