Homer & Jethro — Billboard Song

When I was walking down the street, a billboard caught my eye The advertisement written there would make you laugh and cry The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before And as I gazed upon it, well, this is what I saw: Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes. Drink Wrigley's Spearmint beer Ken-L-Ration dog food makes your wife's complexion clear Chew chocolate-covered mothballs -- they always satisfy Brush your teeth with Lifebuoy soap and watch the suds go by When I recovered from the shock, I went along my way I'd gone no further than a block, when there to my dismay Another billboard caught my eye, like the one before The wind and rain had done its work, cause this is what I saw: Take your next vacation in a brand-new Frigidaire Learn to play piano in your winter underwear And simonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars Doctors prove that babies shouldn't smoke 'til they are three People over 35, take baths in Lipton Tea Oh, you can make America a better place today -- Just buy a record of this song and throw it far away! T-I-D-E, Tide
