"Shaving Cream" by Benny Bell / Paul Wynn

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 Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

I think I'll break off with my girlfriend
Her antics are queer I'll admit
Each time I say, "Darling, I love you"
She tells me that I'm full of Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

Our baby fell out of the window
You'd think that her head would be split
But good luck was with her that morning
She fell in a barrel of Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

An old lady died in a bathtub
She died from a terrible fit
In order to fulfill her wishes
She was buried in six feet of Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

When I was in France with the army
One day I looked into my kit
I thought I would find me a sandwich
But the darn thing was loaded with Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday 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 barrel of Shaving cream,
be nice and clean
Shave everyday and you'll always look keen

1. Brings back memories.

I used to listen to that one on the Dr. Demento Show every Sunday night. There was the scratchy old original, and there was the one Dr. D did himself to an accordian accompanyment. I don't remember who was the accordian. Maybe it was Weird Al Yankovic, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

2. I listened to Dr. Demento for the entire 4 hours every Sunday night...

3. ROFL!

I heard it on Dr. Demento with an added verse. Went something like this:

When broadcasting over the radio
There are certain words you must omit
Like "brrrrt" and "fweep" and "aaaaahhhh"
Why, they won't even let us say "shaving cream"
Be nice and clean
Shave every day and you'll always look keen

4. Though you're insured

remember kiddo,
They don't pay you,
They pay your widow.

Your chick don't smooch
the way she useter
perhaps she's found
a smoother rooster.
