Why is it
When you
Try to pass
The guy in front
Goes twice as fast'
Burma Shave
• • • •
We've made
Grandpa
Look so trim
The local
Draft board's after him
Burma Shave
• • • •
To steal
A kiss
He had the knack
But lacked the cheek
To get one back
Burma Shave
• • • •
Many a forest
Used to stand
Where a
Lighted match
Got out of hand
Burma Shave
• • • •
At a quiz
Pa ain't
No whiz
But he knows how
To keep Ma his
Burma Shave
• • • •
Don't leave safety
To mere chance
That's why
Belts are
Sold with pants
Burma Shave
• • • •
Passing cars
When you can't see
May get you
A glimpse
Of eternity
Burma Shave
• • • •
Don't
Try passing
On a slope
Unless you have
A periscope
Burma Shave
• • • •
Men
With whiskers
'Neath their noses
Oughta have to kiss
Like eskimoses
Burma Shave
• • • •
Said farmer Brown
Who's bald
On top
Wish I could
Rotate the crop
Burma Shave
• • • •
Drinking drivers--
Nothing worse
They put
The quart
Before the hearse
Burma Shave
• • • •
This cooling shave
Will never fail
To stamp
Its user
First class male
Burma Shave
• • • •
His crop of
Whiskers
Needed reaping
That's what kept
His Lena leaping
Burma Shave
• • • •
Tho stiff
The beard
That Nature gave
It shaves
Like down with
Burma Shave
• • • •
The draftee
Tried a tube
And purred
Well whaddya know
I've been defurred
Burma Shave
