*Burma-Shave was a brand of brushless shaving cream that was sold from 1925 to 1966. The company was notable for its innovative advertising campaign, which included rhymes posted all along the nation’s roadways. Typically, six signs were erected, with each of the first five containing a line of verse, and the sixth displaying the brand name.
Lyrics :
Yonder come-a Willie, he's a-passin' on the hill
He don't dress nice, but tries good to kill
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
Burma Shave, Burma Shave
I bet I've seen a million roads
Of them little red bow-legged signs up & down the line
Come on, come on & get it, get it
Pappy ain't a smart, he ain't but a-quizzin'
But with one thing he knows how to keep 'em all his
Way down yonder by the forks of the branch
The old sow whistles & the little pigs dance
Roses are red, violets are blue
You chase me & I'll catch you
