Subject: billboard song From: ggb@ams.org Date: 21 Jul 98 - 10:00 AM I (partially) remember a song from the 40s or 50s that had (as I recall) the following lyrics:
That sexy billboard up on the hill; Are there other lyrics? This tune is in no way related to the songs about billboards whose partial ad messages have become confuse because of whether. I have recently discovered that the tune of this song is the basis for a very snappy piece for wind ensemble. My son played this piece, but he wouldn't beliebe me when I told him there were lyrics and that kids used to sing this many years ago. Any help with this would be appreciated. thanks |

Subject: RE: billboard song From: ggb@ams.org Date: 22 Jul 98 - 08:16 AM The song I'm thinking of is not included in results of a database search on "billboard", which I tried before posting my original message. So if anyone can help, please do. Thanks, Gary |

Chorus: Build up that billboard upon the hill That sexy billboard gives me quite a thrill When I was younger and just a child That sexy billboard drove me wild Are you from Function, from Function Junction Where all those function suction cups are made? If you're from Function, from Function Junction Well, I'm from Function too. Other verses: Fran — Franchise, Tear– Tear down, Re– Rebuild |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE GIRL ON THE BILLBOARD (Del Reeves) From: JohnInKansas Date: 20 Mar 14 - 03:33 AM A somewhat similar and recently popular song gets still gets played occasionally on the CW radio stations, and is considered a "Trucking Song" by a few other broadcasters. GIRL ON THE BILLBOARD Written by Walter Haynes & Hank Mills. As sung by Del Reeves Doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo 1. Who is the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway? Rollin' down the highway in my Jimmy haulin' freight From Chicago to St. Louie, Lord, I see her every day. Aw, a double-clutchin' weasel like me Can hardly ever get a girl to look at him that-a-way, Smilin' like the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway. 2. Well, what a girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway! I bet it wouldn't take her very long to be gone If someone would pull a dirty trick and take her towel away. I slow my Jimmy down to twenty. That's how many wrecks I see there ev'ry day, Caused by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway. A doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo 3. Oh, I love the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway. I guess I'm gettin' bolder 'cause I'd rather kiss and hold 'er Than just keep lookin' at her ev'ry day At four-forty-five, coffee-drinkin'-eatin' time, Jimmy shimmied while I woke up the artist that painted the display Of the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway. 4. Doggone that girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway! Sleepy-headed painter said the girl wasn't real And I'd better get the ---- on my way. On Route 66 from the billboard to Chicago, You'll find tiny pieces of my heart scattered ev'ry which-a-way, Shattered by the girl wearin' nothin' but a smile And a towel in the picture on the billboard In the field near the big old highway. A doo da doo, doo doo, doo da doo, doo doo, dee da dee, dee doo Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc., Carlin America Inc John |
