The man who sings:

"Champaign ...
 Cocaine ...
 Ain't no body's business but my own . . ."
....
"Licker is quicker 
 You can get all the licker in Costa Ricker
 Ain't nobodys business but my own . . ."

is Leon Redbone, who appeared on Saturday Night Live a long time
ago.  He sings with a reed in his mouth to produce that wispy but deep
resonant voice.  There is a TV commercial (a cartoon type) with a dog 
sitting in a chair, legs crossed, and a guitar on his top leg (?)
singing in the exact same style/voice as Leon's. This is how Leon sang
on Sat. Nite Live.  Maybe it is Leon's voice in the cartoon
commercial?
