   C                                                G7

As I was walking down the street one dark and dreary day

G7                                        C

I came upon a billboard, as much to my dismay,

C                                                        F

The sign was torn and tattered, by the storm the night before.

F                     C                G7             C

The wind and rain had done its job and this is what I saw:

 

"Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, chew Wrigley's spearmint beer,

Ken-L-Ration dog food makes your wife's complexion clear,

Simonize your baby with a Hersry's candy bar,

And Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars.

 

So, take your next vacation in a brand-new Frigidaire,

Learn to play the piano in your Granny's underwear.

Doctor's say that babies should smoke 'til they are three,

And people over sixty-five should bathe in Lipton tea

C             C7

With flo-thru teabags!"
