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
