Camp Songs #6

As I was walking down the street, one dark and stormy day
I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay
The sign was torn and tattered from a storm the night before
The wind and rain had done its job and this is what I saw:

Chew Coca-Cola cigarettes, smoke Wrigley Spearmint beer
Ken-L-Ration dogfood makes your complexion clear
Simonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar
Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars

Spend your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire
Learn to play the piano in your winter underwear
Doctors say that babies should smoke until they're three
People over 65 should bathe in Lipton tea

If the internet is to be believed, this song was written by Cy Coben and Charles Grean and sung by "Homer and Jethro". It's a bit longer than what you gave, and , it's worth pointing out, it gets the dog food brand name correct, not "Kennel Ration" but "Ken-L-Ration", now sold under the label Skippy. Ken-L-Ration, interestingly enough was the original pet food brand to sponsor DisneyLand's pet boarding facility named "Ken-L Land Pet Motel". The current sponsor is Purina.

Isn't Skippy a peanut butter brand???
