Why is it When I try to pass The guy in front Steps on the gas

BURMA SHAVE

And the sign said “Long-haired freaky people need not apply” So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why He said “You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you’ll do” So I took off my hat, I said “Imagine that. Huh! Me workin’ for you!” Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin’ would be shot on sight So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, “Hey! What gives you the right?” “To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in” “If God was here he’d tell you to your face, Man, you’re some kinda sinner”

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read? You’ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat You ain’t supposed to be here The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside Ugh!

And the sign said, “Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray” But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn’t have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ‘bout me. I’m alive and doin’ fine.” Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign Sign Sign, sign

Good Morning, Fellow Cave Dwellers

Signs

Signs signs everywhere.

Thanks for the great FLASHBACK Grog

Hey Grog, I never heard that one before. Thanks.

Time to sign off.

My favorite sign is “Shirt and shoes required.”

Means eveything else is optional, I guess.

Listen Birds These Signs Cost Money So Roost Awhile But Don’t Get Funny

A nut at the wheel a peach at the right a curve in the road fruit salad tonight burma shave.

Vermont has a billboard law, so there are very few advertizing signs.

One day I was headed to Saratoga NY, I was on US.rt. 4, as I passed in to NY I was hit by sign after sign advertizing anything, and every thing. Made it hard to see traffic signs.

Ok, it’s not that bad, but ,when you don’t see’em all the time.

It’s like the time I was looking for a particular restaurant, passed by it 3 times, because there were so many signs for stores, etc. that I missed the restaurant one.

From another sign song that I recall

You’ve got to prime the pump, you must Have faith and believe. You’ve got to give of yourself ‘Fore you’re willing to receive. Drink all the water you can hold. Wash your face, cool your feet. But leave the bottle full for others. Thak ya kindly, Desert Pete.

Apologies to the (now deceased) author.

He lit a match

To check the tank.

That’s why we call him

Skinless Frank.

There are signs and there are signs. Please, take a moment to reflect on this and decide now, which signs to believe. God bless you all and Merry Christmas.

Grog that was cool my friend best song I’ve ever heard and haven’t heard it in years God bless you man

As Bill Engvall said, “here’s your sign”.

Have a great day, BCers!

Eldo, I didn’t write the lyrics - I just posted them.

I saw Bill Engvall a couple of times in his early years. Somewhere around here I have an autographed Bill Engvall sign.

Reality at it’s best!

Eldo He wasn’t praying, he was complaining about all the signs cluttering up the landscape.

Eldo Disc Golf said, 5 months ago@^^^^ Grog Anybody else confused by a Guy Who prays saying “IF God were here”?!?….must be just to make the Song ‘work’……

NO! It must be the author paid attention in school. He was using correct English. When he used “IF” that put it in the realm of the subjunctive. If I were a rich man… If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady…

A distinction our language is sadly losing…
