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

The Billboard Song
Smoke Coca-cola cigarettes,
Chew Wrigley Spearmint beer,
Ken-L-Ration dog food
makes your complexion clear.
Simonize your baby
with a Hershey candy bar,
Texaco’s the beauty cream
that’s used by all the stars.

The Billboard Song
So…take your next vacation
in a brand new Frigidaire,
Learn to play the piano
in your winter underwear.
Doctors say that babies
should smoke ‘til they are three,
People over 65
should bathe in Lipton tea, luke warm.

Bill Grogan’s Goat
1.
There was a man,
Now please take note,
There was a man
Who had a goat.
He loved that goat,
Indeed he did,
He loved that goat,
Just like a kid.

Bill Grogan’s Goat
2. One day that goat
Felt frisk and fine,
Ate three red shirts
Right off the line.
The man he grabbed
Him by the back
And tied him to
A railroad track.

Bill Grogan’s Goat
Now when that train
Drove into sight,
That goat grew pale,
And green with fright.
He heaved a sigh,
As if in pain,
Coughed up those shirts,
And flagged the train.
