Speed was high
Weather was hot
Tires were thin
'X' Marks the Spot
Burma-Shave

A man -- a Miss
A car -- a curve
He kissed the Miss
And missed the curve
Burma-Shave

A nut at the wheel
A peach on his right
A curve in the road
Fruit salad that night
Burma-Shave

Why is it when
You try to pass
The guy in front
Goes twice as fast?
Burma-Shave

The one who drives
When he's been drinking
Depends on you
To do his thinking
Burma-Shave

Don't lose your head
To gain a minute
You need your head
Your brains are in it
Burma-Shave

Drove too long
Driver snoozing
What happened next
Is not amusing
Burma-Shave

Cautious rider
To her reckless dear
Let's have less bull
And lots more steer
Burma-Shave

Drinking drivers
Enhance their chance
To highball home
In an ambulance
Burma-Shave

Car in ditch
Driver in tree
The moon was full
And so was he
Burma-Shave

No matter the price
No matter how new
The best safety device
In your car is you
Burma-Shave

The midnight ride
of Paul for beer
Led to a warmer
Hemisphere
Burma-Shave

Around the curve
Lickety-split
It's a beautiful car
Wasn't it?
Burma-Shave

If hugging on highways
Is your sport
Trade in your car
For a davenport
Burma-Shave

A guy who drives
A car wide open
Is not thinkin'
He's just hopin'
Burma-Shave

Brother speeders
Let's rehearse
All together
"Good Morning, Nurse"
Burma-Shave

If roses are
Your favorite flower
Then keep pushing up
Those miles per hour
Burma-Shave

It's best for one
Who hits the bottle
To let another
Use the throttle
Burma-Shave

Both hands on the wheel
Eyes on the road
That's the skillful
Driver's code
Burma-Shave

Pull off the road
To change a flat
Protect your life --
No spare for that!
Burma-Shave

Trains don't wander
All over the map
'Cause nobody sits
In the engineer's lap
Burma-Shave

Don't put your arm
Out quite so far
It might go home
In another car
Burma-Shave

Dim your lights
Behind a car
Let folks see
How bright you are
Burma-Shave

Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
Where last year's
Careless driver is
Burma-Shave

Big mistake
Many make
Rely on horn
Instead of brake
Burma-Shave

Hardly a driver
Is now alive
Who passed on hills
At 75
Burma-Shave

At crossroads don't
Just trust to luck
The other car
May be a truck
Burma-Shave

Careless driving
Soon we hope
Will go the way
Of brush and soap
Burma-Shave

When you drive
If caution ceases
You are apt
To rest in pieces
Burma-Shave

You can't reach 80
Hale and hearty
By driving 80
Home from the party
Burma-Shave

Famous words
About lights that shine
If he won't dim his
I won't dim mine
Burma-Shave

Remember this
If you'd be spared
Trains don't whistle
Because they're scared
Burma-Shave

Don't pass cars
On curve or hill
If cops don't get you
Morticians will
Burma-Shave

Give hand signals
To those behind
They don't know
What's in your mind
Burma-Shave

They missed the turn
Car was whizz'n
Fault was her'n
Funeral was his'n
Burma-Shave

Heaven's latest
Neophyte
Signaled left
Then turned right
Burma-Shave

Of all the drunks
Who drive on Sunday
Some are still
Alive on Monday
Burma-Shave

Passing school zone
Take it slow
Let our little
Shavers grow
Burma-Shave

Sleep in a chair
Nothing to lose
But a nap at the wheel
Is a permanent snooze
Burma-Shave

Road was slippery
Curve was sharp
White robe, halo
Wings and harp
Burma-Shave

Highways are
No place to sleep
Stop your car
To count your sheep
Burma-Shave

If you must sample
Her "pucker paint"
Better drive
Where traffic ain't
Burma-Shave

Twinkle, twinkle
One-eyed car
We all wonder
Where you are
Burma-Shave

On curves ahead
Remember, Sonny
That rabbit's foot
Didn't save the bunny
Burma-Shave

Violets are blue
Roses are pink
On graves of those
Who drive and drink
Burma-Shave

Better try
Less speed per mile
That car may have
To last a while
Burma-Shave

Drinking drivers --
Nothing worse
They put the quart
Before the hearse
Burma-Shave

This will never
Come to pass
A back-seat driver
Out of gas
Burma-Shave

The place to pass
On curves you know
Is only at
A beauty show
Burma-Shave

We know how much
You love that gal
But use both hands
For driving, pal
Burma-Shave
