Leaving Shamrock

Next Stop Amarillo
Train approaching
Whistle squealing
Pause!
Avoid that
Rundown feeling!
Burma Shave
• • • •
To change that
Shaving job
To joy
You gotta use
The real McCoy
Burma Shave
• • • •
Dinah doesn't
Treat him right
But if he'd
Shave
Dyna-mite!
Burma Shave
• • • •
The safest rule
No ifs or buts
Just drive
Like every one else
Is nuts!
Burma Shave
• • • •
The hero
Was brave and strong
And willin'
She felt his chin--
Then wed the villain
Burma Shave
• • • •
These signs
Are not
For laughs alone
The face they save
May be your own
Burma Shave
• • • •
Toughest
Whiskers
In the town
We hold 'em up
You mow 'em down
Burma Shave
• • • •
This cream
Makes the
Gardener's daughter
Plant her tu-lips
Where she oughter
Burma Shave
• • • •
He asked
His kitten
To pet and purr
She eyed his puss
And screamed
"What fur!"
Burma Shave
• • • •
No matter
The price
No matter how new
The best safety device
In your car is you
Burma Shave
• • • •
"No, no,"
She said
To her bristly beau
"I'd rather
Eat the mistletoe"
Burma Shave
• • • •
The bearded devil
Is forced
To dwell
In the only place
Where they don't sell
Burma Shave
• • • •
If variety
Is what
You crave
Then get
A tuba
Burma Shave
• • • •
That barefoot
Chap
With cheeks of tan
Won't let 'em chap
When he's a man
Burma Shave
