    Listening Now. This Comes To Mind:

    “Shaving Creme

    I have a sad story to tell you,
    It may hurt your feelings a bit.
    Last night when I walked into my bathroom,
    I stepped in a big pile of … Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean,
    shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    A baby fell out of the window, You’ld think that her head would be split,
    But good luck was with her that
    morning, she fell in a barrel of… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean
    shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    An old lady died in the bath tub.
    She died from a terrible fit.
    In order to fulfill her wishes,
    She was buried in six feet of… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean
    Shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    I went for a hike with Troop 196,
    At lunch time I looked in my kit,
    I thought I would find me a sandwich,
    But the darned thing was loaded with… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean br> Shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    While watching a swell game of baseball,
    One player got him a nice hit.
    While on his way down to first base,
    He stepped in a big pile of… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean
    Shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    Our baby got into some peaches,
    We thought he had swallowed a pit.
    Next morning we looked in his diaper,
    But the darned thing was loaded with… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean
    shave every day and you’ll always look keen.

    And now folks my story is ended,
    I think it is time I should quit,
    If any of you feel offended,
    Stick your head in a bucket of… Shhhhhaving cream, be nice and clean
    Shave every day and you’ll always look keen.
