As I was walking down the street a billboard caught my [D] eye The advertisements written there would make you laugh and [G] cry The signs were torn and scattered from the storm the night be-[C] fore And as I read the [G] things they said, why, [D] this is what I [G] saw; Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, drink Wrigley's Spearmint beer Ken-L-Ration dog food keeps your wife's complexion clear Chew chocolate covered mothballs, they always satisfy Brush your teeth with Lifebouy Soap and watch the suds go by; When I recovered from the shock I went upon my way I'd gone no further than a block when there to my dismay Another billboard caught my eye and like the one before The wind and rain had done its work 'cause this is what I saw; Oh, take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire Learn to play pian-er in your winter underwear And Simonize your baby with a Hershey candy bar See the difference that Drain-o makes in all the movie stars; Oh, doctors proved that babies shouldn't smoke til they are three People over 35 take baths in Lipton's Tea You wanna make this country a better place today Just buy a record of this song and throw it "fur" away. T - I - D - E; spells - TIDE!

just one more ‘How could I have missed this?!’ post. Love the concept, the execution, and just the whole idea of knowing a guy that creative.

I wish I deserved the accolades, but this is a song by Homer and Jethro
