My wife is insane.

Or maybe it's just that kids in Ohio had different songs than kids in Arizona. But she started talking about a kids song that ended with "Lipton's tea" and said 'sounds like a job for Google'.

Well, this is the result. It was #5 when I searched for "kid song ends with 'lipton's tea'".

Sung to Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious:
As I was walking down the street one dark and gloomy day
I came upon a billboard and much to my dismay
The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before
The wind and rain had done it's work and this is what I saw:

Smoke Coca-Cola cigarettes, chew Wrigley's Spearmint beer,
Ken-L Ration Dog Food keeps your wife's complexion clear
Simonize your baby with a Hershey's candy bar
And Texaco's the beauty cream that's used by all the stars.

So take your next vacation in a brand new Frigidaire
Learn to play the piano in your winter underwear
Doctors say that babies should smoke until they're three
And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea."

I've heard that song before! :D I can't remember where, though, I think it was on my early days of the internet, not anywhere locally.

That's a camp song I learned, so absolutely a common thing in the Midwest?

I've heard it once or twice, but can't recall where or when.
