Leg02 St Louis → Tulsa

The red and white BurmaShave signs were a familiar site traveling across the USA by car in the 1950's.

Leaving St Louis

Next Stop Tulsa
My job is
Keeping faces clean
And nobody knows
De stubble
I've seen
Burma Shave
• • • •
Candidate says
Campaign
Confusing
Babies kiss me
Since I've been using
Burma Shave
• • • •
Violets are blue
Roses are pink
On graves
Of those
Who drive and drink
Burma Shave
• • • •
The whale
Put Jonah
Down the hatch
But coughed him up
Because he scratched
Burma Shave
• • • •
To kiss
A mug
That's like a cactus
Takes more nerve
Than it does practice
Burma Shave
• • • •
Burma Shave
Was such a boom
They passed
The bride
And kissed the groom
• • • •
When Super-shaved
Remember, pard
You'll still get slapped
But not so hard
Burma Shave
• • • •
If your peach
Keeps out
Of reach
Better practice
What we preach
Burma Shave
• • • •
His brush is gone
So what'll we do
Said Mike Robe I
To Mike Robe II
Burma Shave
• • • •
A whiskery kiss
For the one
You adore
May not make her mad
But her face will be sore
Burma Shave
• • • •
A guy
Who drives
A car wide open
Is not thinkin'
He's just hopin'
Burma Shave
• • • •
These signs
We gladly
Dedicate
To men who've had
No date of late
Burma Shave
• • • •
Twinkle, twinkle
One-eyed car
We all wonder
WHERE you are
Burma Shave
• • • •
On curves ahead
Remember, sonny
That rabbit's foot
Didn't save
The bunny
Burma Shave
• • • •
The place to pass
On curves
You know
Is only at
A beauty show
Burma Shave
• • • •
His cheek
Was rough
His chick vamoosed
And now she won't
Come home to roost
Burma Shave
Entering Tulsa
