A dollar a pair, a nickel a box
The longer you wear them the shorter they get
You put them in the washer and they don’t get wet (refrain)

Lives an eskimo by the name of Joe
He got so tired of black and white

I took myself to the picture show
Put my arms around my waist,
I got so fresh I slapped my face (refrain)

Sittin’ on a corner shootin’ dice
The horse slipped and fell on the flea

Way down south where bananas grow
An ant stepped on an elephants tow
