Shaving cream

lyrics:

I have a sad story to tell you
It may hurt your feelings a bit
Last night as I walked into my bathroom
I stepped in a big pile of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave every day 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 every day 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 every day and you’ll always look keen

My 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 every day and you’ll always look keen

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

And now folks my story is ended
I think it is time I should quit
And if anyone of you feel offended
Push your head in a bucket of…
Shaving cream, be nice and clean
Shave every day and you’ll always look keen

Recorded: 1946
Genre: Novelty/party record

“”Shaving Cream” is a song written by Benny Bell in 1946, and originally sung by Paul Wynn. It is a novelty song in which each verse ends with a mind rhyme of shit, the initial sh- segueing into the refrain, “Shaving Cream”; for example: The original version of “Shaving Cream” was issued on Bell’s Cocktail Party Songs record label in 1946, with Phil Winston on vocals under the pseudonym Paul Wynn, and, as that name was also used by Bell himself, Winston’s version has often been mistaken for Bell’s, and has appeared on Benny Bell compilation albums more frequently than Bell’s own version. After the song began to be played on the Dr. Demento radio show in the 1970s, disc jockey Bruce Morrow on WNBC radio in New York also played it, resulting in “Shaving Cream” becoming the station’s most requested record during the last week of 1974. Vanguard Records reissued the song in 1975, and it became a hit, peaking at #30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.” ~ wikipedia
