Vaseline
know what i mean?
man, it's such a slippery thing
you ever try ta' give it a fling?

Petroleim Jelly
rub it on your belly
slip & slide
quite a ride
'specially if you be side ta' side

put it on your nose
when your nose you blows
when it be dry
Vaselin gets you by

put it here, put it there
put it where
you be dry
Vaseline gets you by

elbows & knees
heands & feet
use it when you sneeze or wheeze
ain;t it neat
Vaseline can't be beat

grease it up or grease it down
all kinda' uses can be found
even some abuses
i can't sound

Vaseline's the stuff
sometimes ya' can't get 'enuff

some i can say
with a little word play
some i can't
no way
even if i ain't no saint
you might faint

give it some thought
and you ought
ta' see
Vaseline be
like Life & Love
sure it's good
for all of the above
and it should be you see
course, Vaseline's what i'm speakin' of

but, Life & Love
be slippery things
sometimes real wing-a-ding-dings
it can slipe
it can slide
right through your fingers
it can hide
like old dead-ringers
one a those real hum-dingers

slip slidin' away
too slippery to stay
'fore you know it
you can blow it
and it's gone
Vaseline is such a slippery old song

know what i mean?
Life & Love
& Vaseline
that's what i'm speakin' of
they be a slippery thing

interesting
Reviewed by June Thompson 10/1/2003
you know it's not actually that slippery and it causes it alot of friction, doesn't work well with latex (among other things), and they've invented a hell of alot better things since your time....

can't teach an old dog new tricks....

take it as you willl

interesting write none the less...
it's been awhile
