Memories

We had lots of fun singing this song when we were kids. We didn't sound like They Might Be Giants but we sang with enthusiasm.

Recalling our road trips of years past reminded me of the Burma Shave signs. We got so excited every time we saw one and read them out loud and in unison. I found some of the old slogans and think they're still entertaining:

Around the curve
Lickety split
It's a beautiful car
Wasn't it?
Burma Shave

She put a bullet
Through his hat
But he's had
Closer shaves than that
Burma Shave

Slow down pa
Sakes alive
Ma missed
Signs four and five
Burma Shave

Within this vale
Of toil and sin
Your head grows bald
But not your chin
Burma Shave

Drinking drivers
Nothing worse
They put the quart
Before the hearse
Burma Shave

Thirty days
Hath September
April, June
And the speed offender
Burma Shave

Simpler times - we were easily amused.
