Leaving Flagstaff

Next Stop Kingman
A Man A Miss
A Car A Curve
He kissed the Miss
And missed the Curve
Burma Shave
• • • •
Slow down, Pa
Sakes alive
Ma missed signs
Four And five
Burma Shave
• • • •
The blackened forest
Smoulders yet
Because
He flipped
A cigarette
Burma Shave
• • • •
He played the sax,
Had no B.O.
But his whiskers scratched,
So she let him go.
Burma Shave
• • • •
Pity all the mighty Caesars.
They pulled each whisker
Out with tweezers.
Burma Shave
• • • •
For painting cowshed,
Barn or fence,
Shaving brush
Is just immense.
Burma Shave
• • • •
Shaving brush,
Was like old Rover.
When he died,
He died all over.
Burma Shave
• • • •
He had the ring,
He had the flat,
She felt his chin,
And that was that.
Burma Shave
• • • •
Angels who guard you
When you drive
Usually retire
At sixty-five
Burma Shave
• • • •
A nut at the wheel
A peach on his right
A curve in the road
Fruit salad that night
Burma Shave
• • • •
They missed the turn
The car went whizzin'
The fault was hern
The FUNERAL hisn
Burma Shave
• • • •
Ben met Anna
Made a hit
Neglected beard
Ben-Anna split.
Burma Shave
• • • •
If you don't know
Whose signs these are
You haven't driven
Very far!
Burma Shave
• • • •
The bearded lady
Tried a jar
Now she's a famous
Movie star
Burma Shave
• • • •
Dim your lights
Behind a car
Let folks see
How bright you are
Burma Shave
• • • •
Don't lose your head
To save a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it
