Leaving Oklahoma City

Next Stop Shamrock
Listen birds
These signs cost money
You can rest awhile
But don't get Funny
Burma Shave
• • • •
The hobo
Lets his
Whiskers sprout
It's trains--not girls
That he takes out
Burma Shave
• • • •
A beard
That's rough
And overgrown
Is better than
A chaperone
Burma Shave
• • • •
Pat's bristles
Scratched
Bridget's nose
That's when
Her wild Irish rose
Burma Shave
• • • •
Substitutes
Can do
More harm
Than city fellers
On a farm
Burma Shave
• • • •
The band
For which
The grand stand roots
Is not made up of
Substi-toots!
Burma Shave
• • • •
Another
Red skin
Bit the dust
When Pa tried
What these signs discussed
Burma Shave
• • • •
Unless
Your face
Is stinger free
You'd better let
Your honey be
Burma Shave
• • • •
She eyed
His beard
And said no dice
The wedding's off--
I'll COOK the rice
Burma Shave
• • • •
My cheek
Says she
Feels smooth as satin
Ha! Ha! Says he
That's mine you're pattin'
Burma Shave
• • • •
Proper
Distance
To him was bunk
They pulled him out
Of some guy's trunk
Burma Shave
• • • •
Big blue tube
It's a honey
Best squeeze play
For love
Or money
Burma Shave
• • • •
Cautious rider
To her
Reckless dear
Let's have less bull
And lots more steer
Burma Shave
• • • •
Spring
Has sprung
The grass has riz
Where last year's
Careless drivers is
Burma Shave
• • • •
Soap
May do
For lads with fuzz
But sir, you ain't
The kid you wuz
Burma Shave
